United Nations Climate Change Conference 2023 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (COP 28)

I voted in favor of the European Parliament resolution on the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (COP28). The resolution adopted by Parliament stresses that in order to limit global warming to 1.5 °C, global greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced by 43 % in this decade and before 2030 compared to 2019 levels, and therefore urges the international community to make concerted efforts to achieve this goal and developed countries and major emitters to lead by example. The text also regrets that fossil fuel subsidies in the Union have remained stable since 2008 at a total of around EUR 55-58 billion per year, corresponding to around a third of all energy subsidies in the Union, and reiterates its call for an urgent end to all direct and indirect fossil fuel subsidies in the EU as soon as possible and by 2025 at the latest.
