Letter to Hedegaard cabinet on reform of the EU Effort Sharing Decision

October 14, 2013

In December 2013 the European Commission is expected to publish more concrete proposals for the 2030 framework for climate and energy policies. Providing a legal framework for key sectors and gases currently covered by the Effort Sharing Decision (ESD) will be crucial to deliver significant emissions reductions up to 2030 required to keep the EU on a competitive low carbon pathway.

This letter, signed by NGOs including T&E, urges the climate commissioner Connie Hedegaard’s cabinet to address the potential of emissions-reductions action in non-ETS sectors.
