Yes, fossil fuels cause climate change. Burning coal, oil, and gas releases greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, which trap heat and contribute to global warming. That’s why we are advocating for a transition to a renewable-based economy by 2040 to address the climate emergency.
Dependency on fossil fuels not only harms the environment but also affects human health and exacerbates the climate crisis. That’s why we are calling for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions reduction by 2040 and urge for a complete phase-out of fossil fuels in EU law.
Accelerating the transition to renewable energy sources and increasing energy efficiency are crucial steps to mitigate climate change and meet the targets set by the Paris Agreement. The EU must prioritise these actions to ensure a sustainable and fossil free future for all.
