On April, 20^th ESTIF co-signed a statement of the Coalition for Higher Ambition on the ratification of the Paris Agreement. The statement called on European leaders to continue to show leadership by delivering ratification of the Paris Agreement as soon as possible, and by working with other countries to support their delivery of the Agreement’s goals and obligations.

It also called for the development of a robust European policy framework with strong, economy-wide targets, and clear timetables that will allow the EU to become a zero-carbon economy, driving increased deployment of renewable energy supply and energy efficiency measures. This also means guarantees, that 2030 and 2050 greenhouse gas reductions targets are in line with the long term goals of the Paris Agreement, building on the overachievement of the EU’s 2020 emissions reductions target.
