"I voted in favour of the report ‘2050: The future begins today – Recommendations for the EU's future integrated policy on climate change’ because climate change may result in irreversible disasters and the era of cheap fossil energy is about to come to an end.
This is why the EU needs to join forces with its strategic partners in making every effort to reduce its current dependency on fossil fuels and increase significantly the proportion of renewable energy used.
With the appropriate investments, the European economy’s energy efficiency must grow, while polluting greenhouse gases must be cut by more than 25% in the next 12 years.
The EU must take the necessary firm action to achieve the following objectives by 2050: a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, a 60% level of renewable energy use and energy efficiency.
The European Year of Creativity and Innovation can be a major benchmark in this respect, highlighting the fundamental importance of investments in scientific research and new technologies."@en1
