EU reveals its global vision for climate and energy.
The European Commission and the High Representative have unveiled a new international strategy aimed at enhancing Europe's influence in global climate and energy markets.
This EU global climate and energy vision outlines plans to secure Europe's industrial standing, advocate for fair transition standards, and tackle emerging security issues.
The strategy introduces an external aspect to the Clean Industrial Deal, emphasizing the EU's role as a principal provider of clean technology and adaptation solutions globally.
According to the Commission, renewable energy is crucial for the transition, with nearly half of the EU's electricity expected to come from renewable sources by 2024 and a 111% increase in clean energy investments since 2015.
The plan aims for a 15% share in the global clean tech market, while boosting industrial competitiveness and reaffirming the commitment to a rules-based international order.
High Representative Kaja Kallas noted that the EU will concentrate its climate and energy diplomacy on securing energy supplies and forming mutually beneficial clean energy partnerships.
Executive Vice-President Teresa Ribera stated that European companies can transform high environmental standards into sustainable prosperity and foster global growth.
Commissioner Wopke Hoekstra emphasized that the EU intends to increase clean investments and reform financial structures to ensure a successful global transition.
Commissioner Dan Jorgensen remarked that this approach represents a significant shift, integrating diplomacy, trade, industrial policy, and finance to yield economic and energy benefits.
The vision encompasses actions to enhance global engagement through partnerships, support clean technology investments internationally, and advocate for carbon pricing to encourage emissions reductions and innovation.
The EU reiterated its commitment to achieving climate neutrality by 2050, having already reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 37% since 1990 while being the largest contributor to climate finance globally.
