Five years on from the Paris Climate Action Agreement, and Europe has been putting together its climate action plan for the future. In an open letter coordinated by CLG Europe, CEOs from leading European businesses are urging EU heads of state and the European Commission to support an emissions reduction target of at least 55 per cent by 2030, and calling for an ambitious implementation of the EU recovery package focused on achieving a green and digital transition. By raising the EU 2030 target and delivering a more climate-resilient and regenerative recovery in response to the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, the EU can demonstrate international climate leadership in the run up to COP26 in November 2021. The letter indicates the diversity of European business support for increased climate ambition, with companies from sectors including, manufacturing, heavy industry, finance, consumer goods, textiles, power generation and technology supporting the 55 per cent target.
Supernode are proud to be part of this movement and calling for more action in the fight against climate change.
The Letter states:
“We are writing to call on you, as European leaders, to avoid the worst effects of climate change and secure a sustainable, competitive economic recovery by:
- endorsing the ambition set out in the European Green Deal
- submitting resilient recovery plans which enable the green investments needed to deliver climate neutrality
- agreeing a clearly defined target to reduce domestic greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030 and associated objectives”
