Tnejn minn kull tliet żgħażagħ fl-Ewropa jixtiequ jikkontribwixxu għat-tranżizzjoni ekoloġika permezz tal-impjiegi tagħhom. Madankollu, 45% taż-żgħażagħ Ewropej m’għandhomx il-ħiliet ekoloġiċi biex jagħmlu dan. Iż-żgħażagħ għandhom ikunu mgħammra bil-ħiliet u l-għarfien rilevanti biex jaġixxu fuq l-isfidi ambjentali u tat-tibdil fil-klima. L-idea ta’ skema ta’ “bliet ekoloġiċi Erasmus” tkun li tipprovdi liż-żgħażagħ b’opportunitajiet ta’ volontarjat u traineeships imħallsa fi proġetti ekoloġiċi lokali.

Lejn “korp ta’ azzjoni klimatika” għaż-żgħażagħ fl-Ewropa

L-insetti li jdakkru għandhom rwol fundamentali fl-ekosistema tagħna, iżda dawn qed jiltaqgħu ma’ bosta theddid madwar id-dinja kollha, fosthom: it-tibdil fil-klima, it-telf tal-ħabitats, il-pesti u l-biedja intensiva msejsa fuq prodott wieħed biss. Minkejja r-rwol vitali tagħhom fil-benesseri u n-natura tagħna, dan it-theddid qed jikkawża tnaqqis drammatiku kemm fl-ispeċijiet ta’ dakkara selvaġġi kif ukoll f’dawk ġestiti. L-Unjoni Ewropea qed taħdem biex tipproteġi lid-dakkara kollha.

Nipproteġu lid-dakkara

Il-pandemija globali tal-COVID-19 u l-gwerra tar-Russja kontra l-Ukrajna kellhom impatt sinifikanti fuq l-aġenda tal-Parlament Ewropew matul id-disa’ leġiżlatura tiegħu. Bħala konsegwenza ta’ kriżi tas-saħħa u ta’ diversi sfidi ġeopolitiċi, matul id-disa’ leġiżlatura tiegħu, il-Parlament iffoka fuq it-tranżizzjoni ekoloġika u dik diġitali biex tissaħħaħ ir-reżiljenza tal-Unjoni Ewropea filwaqt li jissaħħu wkoll il-valuri demokratiċi.

Id-disa’ leġiżlatura tal-Parlament Ewropew

L-UE hija waħda mir-reġjuni l-aktar għonja fil-foresti fid-dinja: madwar 40% tal-art tagħha hija miksija b’foresti. Il-foresti huma essenzjali għas-saħħa u l-benesseri tagħna, kif ukoll għas-saħħa tal-pjaneta. Huma rikki fil-bijodiversità u huma importanti ħafna fil-ġlieda kontra t-tibdil fil-klima. L-UE hija konxja tar-rwol li l-foresti jista’ jkollhom fil-futur tagħna. Għalhekk, fl-2021 l-UE adottat l-Istrateġija l-ġdida għall-Foresti għall-2030.

L-istrateġija tal-Unjoni Ewropea għall-foresti għall-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.

Bħala parti mill-pakkett “Lesti għall-mira ta’ 55%”, il-Kummissjoni Ewropea għamlet proposta leġiżlattiva biex tirrieżamina s-sistema attwali għall-iskambju ta’ kwoti tal-emissjonijiet tal-UE. Sabiex tilħaq l-għan klimatiku ambizzjuż ta’ tnaqqis ta’ 55% tal-emissjonijiet sal-2030, stabbilit mil-Liġi Ewropea dwar il-Klima, l-UE qed issaħħaħ aktar is-sistema tagħha għall-iskambju ta’ kwoti tal-emissjonijiet. F’dan l-episodju, se niffukaw fuq l-iskema għall-iskambju ta’ kwoti tal-emissjonijiet tal-UE u l-aktar riforma reċenti tagħha bħala parti mill-pakkett “Lesti għall-mira ta’ 55%”.

Skont il-Kummissjoni Ewropea, il-bini jikkonsma 40% tal-enerġija tal-Unjoni Ewropea u huwa responsabbli għal 36% tal-emissjonijiet ta’ gassijiet serra. Filwaqt li l-Unjoni Ewropea kollha qed tipprova tillimita l-konsum tal-enerġija tagħha, irridu nieħdu miżuri urġenti biex nindirizzaw din is-sitwazzjoni. F’Marzu 2023, il-Parlament adotta abbozz ta’ miżuri biex iżid ir-rata ta’ rinnovazzjonijiet u jnaqqas b’mod sostanzjali kemm il-konsum tal-enerġija kif ukoll l-emissjonijiet ta’ gassijiet serra

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.

Ekoloġiċi, bijodegradabbli, newtrali għall-klima... F’dawn l-aħħar snin, ħafna kumpaniji għamlu użu minn dikjarazzjonijiet ekoloġiċi eċċessivi jew mhux kompletament veritiera, li spiss iqarrqu lill-konsumaturi bl-użu ta’ stqarrijiet ambjentali jew stqarrijiet ta’ durabilità esaġerati. Tant li l-prattika wasslet għall-ħolqien tat-terminu ‘greenwashing’. Il-Parlament ivvota biex jipprojbixxi l-greenwashing u jagħmel l-informazzjoni dwar id-durabilità ċara u faċilment aċċessibbli għall-konsumaturi.

&lt;p>Eco-friendly, biodegradable, climate-neutral… In recent years, many corporations have overstated or misrepresented their green credentials, often misleading consumers with exaggerated environmental or durability claims. So much so that the practice gave rise to the term ‘greenwashing’. Parliament has voted to outlaw greenwashing and make durability information clear and easily accessible to consumers.
