A joint position paper on the increase of the EU Climate Ambition for 2030 in the transport sector.

Consequent with the increased ambitions brought by the European Green Deal, and the objective to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, the European Union (EU) ought to ensure that its 2020 energy and climate objectives are met. On top of this, the European Green Deal proposes that the 2030 objectives be increased.

CIBE has sent a response to the European Commissions Farm to Fork Strategy published in Febuary.

Nature and agriculture are intrinsically linked and reinforce each other’s well-being. The agricultural community cannot prosper and deliver quality food if biodiversity is lost, if soils erode and deteriorate and if they suffer the direct consequences of climate change, such as drought for example. 

To the Publication

The EU Farm to Fork and Biodiversity Strategy are short of solutions on:

-> the increasing gap between the rapid loss of PPPs and the availability/cost of new tools like NBTs and IPM

-> the increasing burdens for EU growers

-> the lack of a level playing field with 3rd countries. 

Targets are not solutions!
