Kas­vi­huo­ne­kaa­su­pääs­tö­jen vähennyksistä jäsenvaltioissa

Suomen luonnonsuojeluliitto (The Finnish Association for Nature Conservation) is the oldest and biggest environmental non-governmental organization in Finland. We would like to make the following points about EU Effort Sharing Regulation (ESR) review.

Emissions in the EU must be cut at least 65 % by the year 2030 in order to keep the global temperature rise to 1.5 °C. The ESR target should be increased accordingly.

Focus should be on reducing emissions in all sectors, also in the ESR. Nationally binding targets need to remain in all sectors and for this keeping the ESR is important. The emissions from road transport and buildings should also remain under the ESR. There should be no offsets or flexibilities between sectors. Banking, borrowing and transferring emissions should be limited to minimum.

SLL:n puolesta Liisa Toopakka
