Joint Climate Action Call cosigned by the ETUC Scientists say that we face a climate emergency. We need decisive action in the next 10 years to put us on a transformative pathway in line with the targets of the Paris Agreement, including efforts to limit temperature rise to 1.5\u00b0C. We must act immediately to get on track for a healthy, fair and liveable future. This will not only reduce devastating impacts of climate change but also bring major economic and social benefits, attract new investments, create new quality jobs and limit health damages.<\/p>\n

The European Parliament elections and subsequent changes in the leadership of the European Commission will shape the politics of the European Union for the next five years, a crucial period for climate action where emissions need to decline fast, targets need to be strengthened and ambitious action needs to be implemented. The new Parliament and the new Commission must address growing concerns about climate change and make climate action a top priority for Europe.<\/p>\n

Time is running out and the urgency to act is crystal clear. Citizens, regional and local authorities, financial institutions, businesses, trade unions and other stakeholders are mobilising and acting at their level in every possible way to call for more climate action. Hence the importance to join the Climate Action Call now !<\/p>\n
