Parliament's resolution on COP30 calls for stronger climate action, including updated NDCs, more climate finance, and progress on adaptation, loss and damage, and a just transition. It urges the EU to lead by example, phase out fossil fuels, and address the triple planetary crisis of climate change, pollution and biodiversity loss. It also stresses the need to protect indigenous peoples, integrate gender equality, and ensure transparency and integrity in UN climate processes.

Key points

  1. Calls on all parties to update and strengthen their NDCs every second year if not on track, and to submit economy-wide absolute emissions targets aligned with 1.5°C before COP30.
  2. Regrets the US withdrawal from the Paris Agreement and calls on the US to reconsider, while urging the EU to provide leadership and prevent further withdrawals.
  3. Calls for strengthening the transition away from fossil fuels, phasing out fossil fuel subsidies, and developing a fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty.
  4. Urges all parties to ensure Article 6 projects deliver net climate benefits, with robust governance, transparency, and no double-counting.
  5. Calls for scaling up climate finance to meet the NCQG, with a broader contributor base, grant-based and non-debt-inducing instruments, and a robust accountability mechanism.
  6. Urges progress on operationalising the global goal on adaptation, including indicators and tracking systems, and on loss and damage finance separate from adaptation.
  7. Calls for integrating child rights and intergenerational equity into climate policy, and for a just transition that creates decent work and promotes social dialogue.
  8. Urges the Council to agree on an EU NDC for 2035 at the upper end of the indicated range, and calls for measures to close the gap to the EU's 2030 targets.
  9. Calls for phasing out fossil fuel subsidies in the EU, with a roadmap from the Commission, and for ending EU imports of Russian fossil fuels.
  10. Stresses the need to protect and restore biodiversity, including forests and wetlands, and to implement the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.
  11. Calls for protecting the rights of indigenous peoples, ensuring their free, prior and informed consent, and providing direct access to climate finance.
  12. Urges action to reduce methane emissions, including through the Global Methane Pledge, and to address emissions from transport, agriculture, and other sectors.

Who is affected

  • EU Member States and the Commission: must close the gap to 2030 targets, phase out fossil fuel subsidies, and submit updated NDCs.
  • Developing countries and least developed countries: to receive scaled-up climate finance, including for adaptation and loss and damage.
  • Indigenous peoples and local communities: rights to be protected, with direct access to climate finance and participation in decision-making.
  • Fossil fuel lobbyists: to be barred from accreditation at COPs, with transparency measures.
  • EU industry and SMEs: to receive support for decarbonisation, with measures to prevent carbon leakage.

Figures and deadlines

  • 43 % reduction in global GHG emissions by 2030 and 60 % by 2035 relative to 2019, to limit warming to 1.5°C.
  • USD 300 billion annually by 2035 for developing countries, and USD 1.3 trillion per year by 2035 from all sources.
  • EUR 28.6 billion in public climate finance provided by the EU and Member States in 2023, plus EUR 7.2 billion in private finance.
  • Fossil fuel consumption subsidies totalled USD 620 billion globally in 2023; EU fossil energy subsidies were EUR 111 billion in 2023.
  • Methane has over 80 times the warming power of CO2 in its first 20 years; global emissions exceed 120 million metric tonnes annually.
  • Target to increase energy storage capacity sixfold to 1 500 GW by 2030.
  • 28 % of global emissions are covered by carbon pricing.
