歐盟提出5720億美元綠色刺激計(jì)劃

歐盟周二同意撥款超過5720億美元（5000億歐元），占大規(guī)模經(jīng)濟(jì)刺激計(jì)劃的30%，用于應(yīng)對氣候變化的政策投資，這是最大的綠色刺激計(jì)劃，但沒有達(dá)到預(yù)期。

 

經(jīng)過五天的馬拉松式談判，歐盟同意了總額為1.23萬億美元（1.074萬億歐元）的承諾，以支持歐盟在未來7年到2027年的復(fù)蘇。歐盟設(shè)定了30%的總體氣候目標(biāo)，這將適用于氣候保護(hù)和綠色政策投資。

 

這意味著在2027年之前的一段時間內(nèi)，可能會有5720億美元用于氣候變化，但這一支出遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)低于分析師所認(rèn)為的在2050年前實(shí)現(xiàn)歐盟氣候中性目標(biāo)所需的投資。

 

投資應(yīng)符合到2050年歐盟氣候中性的目標(biāo)，并有助于實(shí)現(xiàn)歐盟新的2030年氣候目標(biāo)，這些目標(biāo)將在年底前更新。作為一般原則，歐盟的所有支出都應(yīng)與《巴黎協(xié)定》的目標(biāo)相一致。

 

根據(jù)歐盟的綠色協(xié)議，歐盟在去年底承諾支持對可持續(xù)性企業(yè)、技術(shù)和解決方案以及綠色能源和發(fā)電的投資。該協(xié)議還包括一個所謂的公正過渡基金，以一攬子資金支持嚴(yán)重依賴煤炭的地區(qū)和國家。

 

歐盟表示，為了解決到2050年實(shí)現(xiàn)氣候中性目標(biāo)和歐盟2030年新氣候目標(biāo)的社會和經(jīng)濟(jì)后果，將建立一個公正的過渡機(jī)制，包括一個公正的過渡基金。

 

綠色環(huán)保集團(tuán)Transport & Environment（T&E）在評論時表示：

 

“沒有人能否認(rèn)歐盟領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人今天達(dá)成的復(fù)蘇計(jì)劃的歷史價值。但是，盡管該計(jì)劃提到了巴黎協(xié)議和氣候中性，但它缺乏基本的氣候保障措施，比如全面排除化石燃料。只有30%的總支出將用于實(shí)現(xiàn)歐盟的氣候目標(biāo)。”

EU Presents $572 Billion Green Stimulus Package

 

European Union leaders agreed on Tuesday to allocate more than US$572 billion (500 billion euro), or 30 percent of the massive stimulus package, for investments in policies to fight climate change in the largest green stimulus package which, however, fell short of expectations.

 

Following marathon talks for five days, the EU leaders agreed to an overall amount for commitments of US$1.23 trillion (1.074 trillion euro) to support the EU’s recovery for the next seven years through 2027. The EU set an overall climate target of 30 percent that will apply to climate protection and investment in green policies.

 

This means that as much as US$572 billion could be spent on climate in the period through 2027, but this spending is far below what analysts see as investment necessary to reach the EU climate goal to become carbon neutral by 2050, as Reuters notes.

 

Investments “shall comply with the objective of EU climate neutrality by 2050 and contribute to achieving the Union’s new 2030 climate targets, which will be updated by the end of the year. As a general principle, all EU expenditure should be consistent with Paris Agreement objectives,” the EU said.

 

Under the EU’s Green Deal, the EU pledged at the end of last year to support investments in sustainable businesses, technologies, and solutions and in greener energy and electricity generation. The Deal also includes a so-called Just Transition Fund to support with money packages regions and/or countries heavily reliant on coal.

 

“In order to address the social and economic consequences of the objective of reaching climate neutrality by 2050 and the Union's new 2030 climate target, a Just Transition Mechanism, including a Just Transition Fund, will be created,” the EU said today.

 

Commenting on the deal, green group Transport & Environment (T&E) said:

 

“No one can deny the historic value of the recovery plan agreed by EU leaders today. But despite a welcome reference to the Paris Agreement and climate neutrality, the plan lacks basic climate safeguards such as a blanket exclusion of fossil fuels. Just 30% of overall spending will be towards achieving the EU’s climate goals.”
