AbstractAbstract
[en] Assuming it is adopted, the EU will need to translate into action its new EU long-term strategy for a GHG neutral European economy in 2050. The Clean Energy Package (CEP) was an important step forward for EU climate policy, but the Commission's draft long-term strategy highlights the need for Europe to put in place the enabling conditions for deep and fundamental transformation of key emitting sectors of the economy. Translating the EU's long-term strategy into action also means engaging more deeply with the different opportunities, challenges and conditions to unlock specific challenges faced by individual Member States or sub-national regions. A common European approach to decarbonization and common legislative tools are of course needed. However, the EU must also work harder to integrate the diversity of national opportunities and challenges that stems from the unique circumstances of each Member State into a common vision of the pathways to GHG neutrality. In the short and medium term, the EU will also need to revise its NDC by 2020 and again, more fundamentally, by 2025. This is essential both for EU's own policies to be consistent with its 2050 goals. It is also essential to help maintain international momentum behind the Paris Agreement. The EU needs to develop a more 'sector-strategy'- based policy framework to incentivize and enable deep and systemic changes in major emitting sectors to capital stock, infrastructure, business models, finance and consumer behaviour, consistent with the goal of GHG neutrality by 2050. The EU's institutions will need to dialogue more with Member States to reveal these opportunities and challenges on the pathway to GHG neutrality. They will then need to identify ways for the EU to help Member States to unlock them. In 2020, at a minimum the EU can formalise its implicit target of at least '-45%' reductions that flows from the CEP. In addition, the EU has an opportunity to adopt new commitments in terms of deepening the transformations of major emitting sectors, consistent with its soon to be adopted new Long Term Strategy to 2050. For the NDC revision in 2025, an even more systematic translation of the LTS into enabling conditions will need to be prepared as part of a broader review of the Clean Energy Package

Mettre en oeuvre la strategie climatique de long terme de l'UE implique de traiter les defis auxquels sont confrontes les etats membres et les regions. Une approche europeenne commune en matiere de decarbonation et des outils legislatifs communs sont necessaires. Toutefois, l'UE doit egalement s'efforcer davantage d'integrer la diversite des possibilites et des defis nationaux qui decoulent des specificites de chaque etat membre dans une vision commune des trajectoires menant a la neutralite carbone. A court et moyen termes, l'UE devra egalement reviser sa contribution climatique d'ici 2020 et, plus fondamentalement, d'ici 2025. Cela est essentiel pour que les politiques de l'UE soient coherentes avec ses objectifs a 2050. Il est egalement essentiel d'aider a maintenir l'elan international portant l'Accord de Paris sur le climat. L'UE doit developper un cadre politique davantage fonde sur une 'strategie sectorielle', afin d'encourager et de permettre des changements profonds et systemiques dans les principaux secteurs emetteurs - en matiere de capital, d'infrastructures, de modeles d'affaires, de finance et de comportements des consommateurs -, coherents avec l'objectif de neutralite carbone a atteindre d'ici 2050. Les institutions de l'UE devront dialoguer davantage avec les etats membres pour reveler, et traiter, les defis et opportunites lies aux trajectoires de decarbonation menant a la neutralite carbone. En 2020, l'UE pourra au minimum formaliser son objectif implicite d'au moins -45 % de reduction qui decoule du Clean Energy Package (CEP). En outre, l'UE a la possibilite d'adopter de nouveaux engagements en termes d'approfondissement des transformations des principaux secteurs emetteurs, conformement a sa nouvelle strategie de long terme d'ici 2050 qui sera bientot adoptee. Pour la revision de la contribution climatique (cf. NDC) en 2025, une traduction encore plus systematique de la strategie de long terme devra etre preparee dans le cadre d'un examen plus large du 'paquet energie propre'Original Title
