VdL warned her climate plan risks EU missing 2030 targets and shifting burden onto poor

In this letter, seven green NGOs tell EU Commission president Ursula von der Leyen that scrapping the Effort Sharing Regulation – proposed in theCommission’s Inception Impact Assessment – would be a serious mistake. It would reduce incentives for effective national measures, undermine support for proven EU-wide policies, delay action in harder to treat sectors and risk serious impacts on poorer citizens. The letter is signed by Birdlife CAN-E, Carbon Market Watch, European Environmental Bureau, Greenpeace, Transport & Environment, and WWF.
