Lettre ouverte aux Député-e-s européen-ne-s, membres de la Commission du Développement, à propos de la révision du SEQE

The document urges the European Parliament to revise the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) to align with the 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement. It proposes using EU ETS revenues as a source of international climate finance, establishing an international climate action fund, and correcting the assumption that biomass burning is carbon neutral due to a lack of sustainability criteria.

• The signatories argue that the European Commission's proposal for the EU ETS revision does not align with the Paris Agreement's goal of limiting warming to 1.5°C and call for amendments to strengthen climate ambition, limit free permit allocations to industry, and allow for ambition reviews every five years.
• The letter proposes that a portion of EU ETS revenues be earmarked for international climate finance to increase transparency and predictability, suggesting the creation of an international fund for climate action to support the most impacted populations via the Green Climate Fund or other partners.
• The document challenges the EU ETS assumption that biomass burning is carbon neutral, stating this is false because of incomplete land-use accounting methodologies and a lack of sustainability criteria, which threatens forests and dependent populations globally.
