The EU plans to finance the measures outlined in the Green Agreement through an investment plan – InvestEU – which provides for investments of at least one trillion euros. In addition, to meet the targets set by the agreement, the EU would need around `260 billion euros` of investment per year by 2030. [5] Opponents of the CO2 emissions regulation have imposed the exclusion of any obligation imposed on companies by the Russian law regulating greenhouse gas emissions. In Russia, all the infrastructure to combat global warming (excluding surveillance) is set up on a voluntary basis. All parties to the Paris Agreement are invited to communicate by 2020 their long-term strategies for the development of greenhouse gas emissions with a view to developing greenhouse gas emissions by mid-century. It was found that the American oil group ExxonMobil had a considerable influence on the initial negotiations on the European Green Agreement. ExxonMobil has tried to amend the agreement to place less emphasis on the importance of reducing transportation, which emits carbon dioxide. He was just one of many opponents of the agreement. [55] European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the European Green Agreement was Europe`s „moon man“ because the plan would make Europe the first climate-neutral continent. [2] By Leyen, Frans Timmermans has been appointed Executive Vice-President of the European Commission for the European Green Agreement. On 13 December 2019, the European Council decided to move the plan forward in an opt-out for Poland. [3] On 15 January 2020, the European Parliament voted in favour of the agreement, calling for higher ambitions. [4] The European Parliament has approved the target for zero net greenhouse gas emissions in its March 2019 climate change resolution and the resolution on the European Green Agreement of January 2020.
The plan provides for potential CO2 tariffs for countries that do not keep their greenhouse gas emissions at the same rate. [6] The mechanism to achieve this is called carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). [7] This includes: to further illustrate the contradictory logic of the Green Agreement, take international and bilateral trade agreements, in particular the EU Investor Treaty, which is specific to our competitive growth economies. Part of these are the State Dispute Settlement (RDIE) investor settlement mechanisms in which companies can bring governments to justice in the event of sudden political changes if they see their real and potential (future) profits denied. In 2011, the European Commission presented a roadmap for a competitive, low-carbon Europe by 2050. The roadmap presented possible measures by 2050 that could enable the EU to achieve greenhouse gas reductions, in line with the internationally agreed 80-95% target, as part of the reductions needed by industrialised countries as a group. The roadmap has set milestones towards the goal, political challenges, investment needs and opportunities in different sectors. In the same month, the Economic Recovery Plan and the European Union budget were universally accepted. [By whom? – Discuss] The share of money spent on combating climate change has increased to 30%.
The plan provides for some green taxation of European products and imports, but critics say it is still not enough to meet the EU`s climate targets and it is not clear how to guarantee that all the money will actually go to green projects. [50] The European Green Free Alliance and Jytte Guteland have proposed increasing the EU`s EU 2030 climate target of the Eu Green Agreement to at least 65% of greenhouse gas emissions. [63] [64] [65] As part of the European Green Agreement, the Commission proposed in September 2020 to raise the target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to at least 55% by 2030, including emissions and absorptions, from 1990.
