Joint statement by CEE civil society organisations on implementing the Paris Agreement

The document argues that EU climate tools must be reformed to support a low-carbon transition in Central and Eastern Europe, specifically calling for a 55% emission reduction target by 2030 and the phase-out of fossil fuel and nuclear energy subsidies.

• The signatories argue that the EU's 2030 domestic emission reduction target must be increased to a minimum of 55% as part of the post-Paris review process.
• The organisations call for the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) to provide a carbon price that encourages the total phase-out of fossil fuels and to prohibit investments in new or existing fossil and nuclear energy generation.
• Regarding the Effort Sharing Regulation (ESR), the group advocates for a transition that extends beyond 2030 toward a long-term goal of at least 95% emission cuts by 2050, with 2021 starting points based on actual emissions.
• The statement requests that the land use and forestry regulation (LULUCF) increase the EU's carbon sink to align with a 1.5 degree pathway and ensure these actions are additional to emission reductions in other sectors.
