Rif.: ec-europa-eu / Commissione europea - Rappresentanza It-Mi Comunicato - 21
Novembre 2022 «L'UE approva il compromesso della COP27 per
mantenere vivo l'accordo di Parigi e proteggere le persone più vulnerabili ai
cambiamenti climatici» «Alla conferenza delle Nazioni Unite sui cambiamenti climatici (COP27) che si è conclusa domenica mattina a Sharm el-Sheikh, in Egitto, la Commissione europea ha dato prova di ambizione e flessibilità per mantenere realizzabile l'obiettivo di limitare il riscaldamento globale a 1,5º C. Dopo una difficile settimana di negoziati, un'azione europea forte e unita ha contribuito al raggiungimento di un sofferto accordo per mantenere vivi gli obiettivi dell'accordo di Parigi. L'opera di mediazione svolta dall'UE ha inoltre contribuito a istituire nuovi meccanismi di finanziamento equilibrati, con una base di donatori ampliata, per aiutare le comunità vulnerabili a far fronte alle perdite e ai danni causati dai cambiamenti climatici.
Per quanto riguarda la mitigazione, le parti hanno convenuto che limitare il riscaldamento globale a 1,5º C richiede riduzioni rapide, incisive e durature delle emissioni globali di gas a effetto serra, con un taglio dell'ordine del 43% entro il 2030 rispetto ai livelli del 2019.
Le parti hanno inoltre riconosciuto che per raggiungere questo obiettivo sarà necessaria un'azione accelerata nel corso di questo decennio critico e hanno ribadito l'appello, lanciato nel patto di Glasgow per il clima, ad aggiornare i contributi stabiliti a livello nazionale in funzione dei bisogni, per allinearsi all'obiettivo di limitare l'aumento della temperatura previsto dall'accordo di Parigi entro la fine del 2023.
Hanno inoltre affermato che il patto di Glasgow per il clima servirà da base per un nuovo programma di lavoro in materia di mitigazione per incoraggiare le parti ad allineare i loro obiettivi e le loro azioni in vista della neutralità carbonica.
Per quanto riguarda le perdite e i danni, le parti hanno deciso di istituire nuovi meccanismi di finanziamento per aiutare i paesi in via di sviluppo particolarmente vulnerabili a far fronte agli effetti negativi dei cambiamenti climatici. Ciò comprende in particolare un nuovo fondo destinato a compensare le perdite e i danni, che sarà istituito da un comitato di transizione che sarebbe anche incaricato di individuare nuove fonti di finanziamento.

Rif.: ec-europa-eu / European Commission -
Brussels Press
release - 21 November 2022 «EU agrees to COP27
compromise to keep Paris Agreement alive and protect those most vulnerable to
climate change*» «At the COP27
UN Climate Change Conference which ended on Sunday morning in Sharm
el-Sheikh, Egypt, the European Commission showed ambition and flexibility to
keep the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees within reach. After a
difficult week of negotiations, a strong and united European effort helped
secure a hard-fought deal to keep the targets of the Paris Agreement alive.
The EU's bridge-building also helped to put in place balanced new funding
arrangements, with an expanded donor base, to help vulnerable communities to
face loss and damage caused by climate change. On
mitigation, Parties agreed that limiting global warming to 1.5C requires
rapid, deep and sustained reductions in global greenhouse gas emissions,
reducing them by 43 percent by 2030 relative to the 2019 level. They also
recognised that this requires accelerated action in this critical decade, and
reiterated the call from the Glasgow Climate Pact for nationally determined
contributions (NDCs) to be updated as necessary to align with the Paris
Agreement temperature goal, by the end of 2023. They also affirmed that the
Glasgow Climate Pact will guide a new Mitigation Work Programme to encourage
Parties to align their targets and actions towards net zero. On loss and
damage, the Parties decided to establish new funding arrangements for
assisting developing countries that are particularly vulnerable to the
adverse effects of climate change. This includes a new fund with a focus on
addressing loss and damage, to be established by a transitional committee
which would also look into expanding sources of funding. The
Implementation COP The final
COP27 outcomes today complement the many bilateral and multilateral
agreements secured by the Commission in the past two weeks. President von der
Leyen participated
in the Leaders' Summit at the beginning of COP27 and signed Partnerships with Kazakhstan on raw
materials, batteries and renewable hydrogen
and with Namibia on
sustainable raw materials and renewable hydrogen,
and announced
with Egyptian president El-Sisi a Strategic Partnership on Renewable
Hydrogen, which was signed
by Executive Vice-President Timmermans and Commissioner Kadri Simson.
President von der Leyen also launched Forest and Climate
Partnerships with Congo, Guyana, Mongolia, Zambia and Uganda.
The importance of nature to the interconnected climate and biodiversity
crises will also be a key focus of the upcoming COP15 on Biodiversity, which
takes place in Montreal, Canada in December. At an event to take stock of the Global Methane Pledge
launched by the EU and US one year ago, Mr Timmermans welcomed the growing support
for this initiative, which is now backed by over 150 countries. Executive
Vice-President Timmermans also announced a new Team Europe Initiative
to provide over €1 billion of
financing for helping Africa
to adapt to climate change. During COP27 the EU also welcomed and endorsed
South Africa's Just Energy Transition Investment Plan, and signed a new Just Energy Transition
Partnership with Indonesia
at the G20 in Bali. President
Ursula von der Leyen said on the outcome of COP27: “COP27 has
confirmed that the world will not backtrack on the Paris Agreement, and is an
important step towards climate justice. However science is clear that much
more is needed to keep the planet liveable. What is equally clear is that the
EU played a key role in Sharm el-Sheikh and will not relent on its domestic
and international climate action. I thank Executive Vice-President Timmermans
and our negotiating team for working night and day to unblock the difficult
talks, and avoiding a breakdown of the UNFCCC process that will remain
critical. Our negotiating team was able to build trust with our partners
around the world, by staying strong on mitigation and showing flexibility on
funding for the loss and damage caused by climate change.” Background Throughout the
conference, the Commission hosted over 125 side events
at the EU Pavilion in Sharm el-Sheikh and online on issues such as
biodiversity protection and nature restoration, energy security and the green
transition, sustainable finance, food and water security, and research and
innovation. These included a passionate dialogue between Executive
Vice-President Timmermans and youth representatives
from around the world. Under the
2015 Paris Agreement, 194 countries agreed to submit Nationally Determined
Contributions (NDCs) which represent their individual emissions reduction
targets. Collectively, these NDCs should contribute to keeping average global
temperature change below 2°C and as close as possible to 1.5°C by the end of
the century. The 2022 reports from the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change (IPCC) warned that the world is set to reach the 1.5ºC level
within the next two decades and that only the most drastic cuts in carbon
emissions would help prevent an environmental disaster. This level of
temperature rise would have extremely harmful effects that pose an
existential challenge. The European
Union is a global leader in climate action, having already cut its greenhouse
gas emissions by over a quarter since 1990, while growing its economy by over
60%. With the European Green Deal
presented in December 2019, the EU further raised its climate ambition by
committing to reaching climate neutrality by 2050. This objective became
legally binding with the adoption and entry into force of the European Climate Law,
in July 2021. The Climate Law also sets an intermediate target of reducing
net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030, compared to 1990
levels. This 2030 target was communicated to
the UNFCCC in December 2020 as the EU's NDC under the Paris Agreement. In
2021, the EU presented a package of proposals to
make its climate, energy, land use, transport and taxation policies fit for
reducing net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030. The EU will
update its NDC, as appropriate, as soon as possible after all these proposals
are adopted. Climate
finance is critical to support vulnerable communities to protect themselves
against the impacts of climate change and to support sustainable economic
growth. Developed countries have committed to mobilise a total of $100
billion of international climate finance per year from 2020 until 2025 to
help the most vulnerable countries and small island states in particular, in
their mitigation and adaptation efforts. The EU is the biggest donor
representing around a quarter of the target.» For
