My write-up of where the EU budget negotiations stand, following the last #EUCO of the year: www.linkedin.com/pulse/mff-ne...

📢 New E3G x @eccoclimate.bsky.social report: how credible private sector plans can help build more “investable” national transition strategies. Explore the insights: www.e3g.org/publications...

Sandra Tzvetkova and I round up five things climate watchers should pay attention to in the #MFF proposals. The last thing to read before going on holiday, the first thing to read when you come back!

Deciphered some Commission prose on #2040ClimateTarget flexibility for @carbonbrief.org

propositionem habemus www.e3g.org/news/eu-2040...

@neilmakaroff.bsky.social and I might have advocated for the 2040 target to be discussed at EUCO. Just not this way. A debate on how the target boosts competitiveness, investments, innovation, affordability and enabling policies to reach is required. Not to ditch 2040. pro.politico.eu/news/200907

❗BREAKING: French President Macron is putting the EU 2040 climate target agreement at risk❗ More info: www.bankier.pl/wiadomosc/Fr... (In PL) 🗣️ @harmeling.bsky.social reacts:

Je ne sais vraiment pas par où commencer. Voici comment le gouvernement français veut souhaiter bon anniversaire à l'Accord de Paris:

At the 2025 Annual Budget Conference, @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu just confirmed that the Commission will propose "national and regional partnerships for investments and reforms" (NRPIR?) for the next #EUBugdet. What could this new set of reform plans mean for energy & climate? Some thoughts: 1/7

🔋 How can the EU budget accelerate decarbonisation & build a greener & resilient economy? Key reforms to the Multiannual Financial Framework are crucial: - boosting synergies - aligning national plans - simplifying governance - & empowering local action Read @e3g.bsky.social's briefing👇

🧵The EU’s next budget offers a key opportunity to enhance climate and energy policy coordination. We explore how better governance of the Multiannual Financial Framework (#MFF) can support #decarbonisation and a greener, more resilient economy. 🔗Read the full briefing: www.e3g.org/publications...

What does the #CleanIndustrialDeal 's section on jobs and skills tell us about how the "new" Commission leadership understands workers' place in the industrial transition? A thread 🧵 1/8

With our expertise across #CleanIndustrialDeal #CID, the first #Omnibus simplification package and the #AffordableEnergyActionPlan, here's E3G's overall take: the EU now has a forward agenda, but it's a clumsy one. www.e3g.org/news/the-eur...

This is the issue with the Commission choosing to focus on the reform side of the RRF and ignore the huge leap in size of NGEU. This carrot is much smaller. Two options: 1. more money, or 2. an innovative, yet-to-defined mechanism that somehow creates reforms buy-in without cash.

📆 One year ago today, the EU Commission proposed a 2040 emissions target Since then? ❌ No Climate Law amendments ❌ No 2035 target ❌ No NDC We are tired of waiting! #ClimateActionNow #2040Target 🔗 caneurope.org/2040-communi...

When Donald Tusk tells us that "Europe should not be fearful", this is the kind of data we should have in mind. 🌄 Decarbonising is happening, it's saving us money and it's making us more resilient. ⬇️⬇️⬇️
