Reglamentos de reparto de esfuerzos y ‘LULUCF’

A coalition of environmental organizations calls on the Spanish government to strengthen the EU's Effort Sharing Regulation (ESR) to align with the Paris Agreement, specifically requesting a 95% emissions reduction by 2050, the removal of the 'ESR safety reserve', and stricter governance to ensure climate targets are met.

• The authors argue that the current Effort Sharing Regulation (ESR) proposal does not align with the long-term commitments of the Paris Agreement and requires a more substantial revision of EU climate and energy policies.
• The coalition proposes specific targets for the ESR, including a trajectory to achieve at least a 95% reduction in emissions by 2050 and setting the starting year for counting reductions to 2018 based on real emissions.
• The document strongly opposes the 'ESR safety reserve', specifically criticizing Spain's request for a reserve of 140 Mt of CO2 as excessive and a disincentive for ambitious emission reductions.
• The authors call for the elimination of the 'forest gap' and 'ETS gap' to prevent countries from using non-permanent forest credits or ETS surpluses to undermine climate action in non-ETS sectors.
• The statement advocates for a governance system featuring annual compliance checks and financial penalties for non-compliance, as well as a review clause to increase targets over time.
