European countries must:
👉Approve EU leaving #ECT
👉Withdraw from #ECT at national level
Against climate change, we have no magical vaccine but we have a solution: PREVENTION
Best way to prevent dramatic climate change is to aim at 65% emission cuts for 2030 in the EU.
The higher the 2030 climate target, the higher the social and economic benefits.
#EUClimateLaw
The Climate Change Performance Index #CCPI2019 shows that European countries fail to take adequate #climateaction to limit temperature rise to #1o5C.
Countries must urgently increase their targets and scale up action to implement them.
