Open letter on Horizon Europe's support for climate, energy and mobility
Summary
An open letter from a coalition of climate and energy organisations calling for a more ambitious budget allocation for Horizon Europe's Cluster 4 to support the transition to a net-zero economy by 2050 and meet the targets of the Clean Energy Package.
Key insights
- The authors argue that the current budget proposal for Horizon Europe's Cluster 4 is lower than the European Commission's original proposal and is insufficient to maintain consistency with the energy efficiency and renewable energy targets of the Clean Energy Package.
- The request for increased funding is justified by the IPCC's findings on the benefits of limiting global warming to 1.5°C and the European Commission's upcoming 'Long Term Strategy' for a net-zero economy by 2050.
- Increasing climate-related research funding is presented as consistent with the European Parliament's resolution on the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF), which increased climate mainstreaming from 25% to 30%.
