The European Climate Law, as the legal pillar of the Green Deal, needs

Key Points:

The European Climate Law, as the legal pillar of the Green Deal, needs
to fully engage cities and regions in the design of the trajectory towards 2050.
Members request local and regional climate inventories and objectives and call
for a permanent Multilevel Energy Dialogue Platform and a European
climate neutrality observatory.
The president of Andalusia and rapporteur Juanma Moreno (ES/EPP) declared:"Europe must continue to lead the global fight against climate change.
Cities and regions have a crucial role to play in achieving climate neutrality, an objective that should be compatible and even boost regional economic development and job creation.
We reiterate our call for climate goals to be reached through renewable energy rather than an increased use of nuclear energy."
Equally, data for monitoring progress under the European Climate Law should be collected at regional, rather than national level.
Local and regional climate objectives would improve accuracy in progress monitoring and reduce the risks of climate action negatively affecting cohesion in the EU.
The CoR underlines that climate neutrality should be reached by means of renewable energies rather than by an increased use of nuclear energy.
