30 June 2020
Online
Organised by: RGI, CAN Europe and EEB
For the first time, a broad community of European NGOs has agreed on a common energy scenario. Under the umbrella of the PAC project – “Paris Agreement Compatible Scenarios for Energy Infrastructure”– the Climate Action Network Europe and the European Environmental Bureau have developed an energy scenario for Europe.
The PAC Scenario is guided by three goals:
01
100% renewables in Europe by 2040 in all sectors
02
A 65% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030
03
Net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040
On 30 June, we discussed the scenario, how its genesis makes it different from existing scenarios largely based on renewables and what its political implications are in a two-hour interactive virtual event.
On this occasion, a broad coalition furthermore signed the ‘Request to Adapt European Energy Planning Scenarios’ that calls for the inclusion of a scenario into the Ten Year Network Development Plan (TYNDP) process that includes a very high renewable energy share.
If you are interested to find out more about the request and potentially sign it, please get in touch with us.
