Tá ról bunúsach ag feithidí pailnitheacha inár n-éiceachóras, ach tá bagairtí éagsúla os a gcomhair: an t-athrú aeráide, caillteanas gnáthóg, lotnaidí agus dianfheirmeoireacht ar bharra aonair. Mar thoradh ar na bagairtí sin, tá meath suntasach ag teacht ar phailneoirí fiáine agus bainistithe araon, ainneoin a thábhachtaí atá siad dár bhfolláine agus don dúlra. Tá an tAontas ag obair chun gach pailneoir a chosaint.

Pailneoirí a chosaint

Bhí tionchar suntasach ag paindéim dhomhanda COVID-19 agus cogadh na Rúise i gcoinne na hÚcráine ar chlár oibre Pharlaimint na hEorpa sa naoú téarma parlaiminteach dá cuid. Agus í ag dul i ngleic le géarchéim shláinte agus dúshláin gheopholaitiúla le linn a naoú téarma parlaiminteach, dhírigh an Pharlaimint ar an aistriú glas agus ar an aistriú digiteach chun athléimneacht an Aontais a fheabhsú agus chun luachanna daonlathacha a neartú ag an am céanna.

Naoú téarma reachtach Pharlaimint na hEorpa

Tá an tAontas ar cheann de na réigiúin ina bhfuil an líon is mó foraoisí ar domhan: tá timpeall 40% dá thailte clúdaithe le foraoisí. Tá foraoisí ríthábhachtach dár sláinte agus folláine, agus do shláinte an phláinéid. Tá saibhreas bithéagsúlachta iontu agus tá an-tábhacht leo sa chomhrac i gcoinne an athraithe aeráide. Is eol don Aontas a thábhachtaí atá ról na bhforaoisí dár dtodhchaí. Is é sin an fáth gur glacadh an Straitéis Foraoiseachta nua do 2030 in 2021.

Straitéis Foraoiseachta an Aontais Eorpaigh le haghaidh 2030

The world is not on track to keep the global temperature rise below 2°C. Even under the most optimistic scenarios, the temperature rise is expected to overshoot 1.5°C for a while, before falling back below 1.5°C thanks to large-scale carbon removals. While action to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and scale up carbon dioxide removal remains crucial, there is an urgent need to reinforce efforts to adapt to climate change, in order to avoid losses and build resilience.

Mar chuid den phacáiste ‘Oiriúnach do 55’, tá togra reachtach cruthaithe ag an gCoimisiún Eorpach. Tá sé mar aidhm leis athbhreithniú a dhéanamh ar an gcóras trádála astaíochtaí atá ag an Aontas faoi láthair. Tá an tAontas ag déanamh neartú breise ar a chóras trádála astaíochtaí, chun sprioc aeráide uaillmhianach de laghdú 55 faoin gcéad ar astaíochtaí a bhaint amach faoi 2030. Leagadh an sprioc sin síos sa Dlí Aeráide Eorpach. San eagrán seo, pléifimid córas trádála astaíochtaí an Aontais agus an t-athchóiriú is déanaí air, mar chuid den phacáiste ‘Oiriúnach do 55’.

Dar leis an gCoimisiún Eorpach, is iad foirgnimh is cúis le 40% d’ídiú fuinnimh agus 36% d’astaíochtaí gás ceaptha teasa an Aontais. Tá an tAontas i gcoitinne ag iarraidh srian a chur lena ídiú fuinnimh. Caithfear bearta práinneacha a ghlacadh chun aghaidh a thabhairt ar an bhfadhb seo. I Márta 2023, ghlac an Pharlaimint dréachtbhearta chun ráta na n-athchóirithe a mhéadú agus chun ídiú fuinnimh agus astaíochtaí gás ceaptha teasa a laghdú go mór.

Over the past 3.8 billion years, nature has been engineering itself to survive. It has also developed efficient and sustainable adaptation mechanisms against changing environmental conditions. To further the EU's political ambitions, could we employ biomimicry to mitigate climate change and achieve climate neutrality?

Science and Technology Podcast : What if nature taught us to adapt to climate change?

The policies of the EU on climate and energy are described, as well as the challenges that must be faced in order to achieve the Paris Agreement target of keeping the increase in global temperature well below 2°C and to pursue efforts to achieve 1.5°C.

The EU faces major challenges from the increased threats of climate change, with serious consequences in the energy sector, where urgent issues are arising concerning the national production mix of each Member State. The renewable energy share needs to be increased, and energy efficiency needs to be improved.

Tá baint ag an iarcheannaire Sóivéadach agus comhbhunaitheoir Green Cross International (GCI) le cosaint an chomhshaoil le fada an lá. Agus é ina chomhúdar ar thuarascáil ar ghanntanas uisce, ghríosaigh Mikhail Gorbachev ceannairí Eorpacha agus domhanda chun gníomhú i gcoinne na géarchéime domhanda uisce agus cháin sé easnamh ceannaireachta polaitiúla. Thug sé aitheasc do Pharlaimint na hEorpa le linn na comhdhála idirnáisiúnta “Síocháin le hUisce” 2009. * Féach ar an óráid iomlán ar Lárionad Ilmheán Pharlaimint na hEorpa: http://epyoutube.eu/SpeechGorbachev

The European Parliament has been working to protect people and the planet from the worst effects of climate change.   

 It passed ambitious and binding greenhouse gas reduction targets to make Europe the world’s first climate-neutral continent by 2050, and backed vital funds to help Europeans meet the cost of the green transition.   

New rules encourage cleaner, more efficient energy and industry, creating new jobs and opportunities for businesses.

Éicea-chairdiúil, in-bhithmhillte, aeráidneodrach… Le blianta beaga anuas, tá áibhéil nó mífhaisnéis scaipthe ag corparáidí maidir lena ghlaise atá siad, agus is minic a chuir siad tomhaltóirí amú agus maímh áibhéalacha comhshaoil ​​nó marthanachta á ndéanamh acu. Tá an oiread sin den chleachtas ann gur baisteadh ‘glas-snasú’ air. Vótáil an Pharlaimint chun cosc a chur le glas-snasú agus faisnéis faoi mharthanacht a bheith soiléir agus ar fáil go héasca do thomhaltóirí. Gheofar tuilleadh eolais inár bhfíseán gearr míniúcháin.

Rialacha nua AE chun glas-snasú a chosc, díchriptithe

Leibhéal na farraige ag méadú, an iomarca lománaíochta, cailleadh bithéagsúlachta... Tá daoine ó gach cúlra ar fud an Aontais imníoch faoin athrú aeráide. Seo hiad Anu agus Carlos, beirt tacadóirí aeráide atá ag déanamh beart nithiúil ar son an phláinéid. Duine amháin mar 'Gníomhaí Mamó' san Fhionlainn, an duine eile mar bhall d’eagraíocht neamhrialtasach 'Global Shapers' sna hOileáin Chanáracha. Tá an tAontas Eorpach ag gníomhú chun ár bpláinéad a chosaint tríd an gComhaontas Glas don Eoraip, reachtaíocht nua ar astaíochtaí carbóin agus coimirce níos fearr do bhithéagsúlacht an Aontais.

Gníomhú ar son na haeráide ó ghlúine agus i náisiúin éagsúla: seo hiad Anu & Carlos

Once elected, Members of the European Parliament have an important job to do. They are the eyes, ears and voices of Europeans in the Parliament. You vote for them, then they vote for you!

Sitting in parliamentary groups, a bit like parties in national parliaments, MEPs listen to people’s concerns, debate, consult with interested parties and vote on laws.
