Kar dve tretjini mladih Evropejcev si želi na delovnem mestu dejavno prispevati k zelenemu prehodu, a jih skoraj polovica nima zelenih spretnosti. Mladi bi morali biti usposobljeni za spoprijemanje z okoljskimi in podnebnimi izzivi. Zamisel o Erasmusovih zelenih mestih bi jim omogočila, da prostovoljno ali kot plačani praktikanti sodelujejo v lokalnih zelenih projektih.

„Evropska podnebna enota“ za mlade Evropejce

Žuželke opraševalke so izjemno pomembne za naš ekosistem, vendar jim po vsem svetu grozijo podnebne spremembe, izguba habitata, škodljivci in intenzivne monokulture. Divje in gojene vrste opraševalcev, ki so ključni za našo blaginjo počutje in naravo, se zato drastično zmanjšujejo. Evropska unija si prizadeva zaščititi vse opraševalce.

Zaščita opraševalcev

Pandemija covida-19 in ruska vojna proti Ukrajini sta močno vplivali na delo Evropskega parlamenta v devetem parlamentarnem obdobju. Po zdravstveni krizi in geopolitičnih izzivih se je Parlament v tem obdobju osredotočil na zeleni in digitalni prehod, da bi izboljšal odpornost Unije in hkrati okrepil demokratične vrednote.

The ninth legislative term of the European Parliament

Evropska unija je eno najbolj gozdnatih območij na svetu, saj gozdovi pokrivajo kar 40 % njenega ozemlja. Gozdovi so bistvenega pomena za naše zdravje in dobro počutje, pa tudi za zdravje našega planeta. Zanje je značilna visoka stopnja biotske raznovrstnosti, izjemno pomembni pa so tudi v boju proti podnebnim spremembam. Evropska unija se zaveda vloge, ki jo imajo gozdovi za našo prihodnost, zato je leta 2021 sprejela novo strategijo za gozdove do leta 2030.

Strategija Evropske unije za gozdove do leta 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.

EPRS Policy Podcast - Climate overshoot and adaptation: Issues to watch in 2024

Evropska komisija je v okviru svežnja „Pripravljeni na 55“ pripravila zakonodajni predlog za revizijo sedanjega sistema Evropske unije za trgovanje z emisijami. Unija želi uresničiti velikopotezni cilj iz evropskih podnebnih pravil in emisije do leta 2030 zmanjšati za 55 %, zato zaostruje predpise za trgovanje z emisijami. V današnjem prispevku bomo govorili o sistemu za trgovanje z emisijami in njegovi nedavni reviziji v okviru svežnja „Pripravljeni na 55.“

Revidiran sistem Evropske unije za trgovanje z emisijami - slovenščina

Po podatkih Evropske komisije stavbe porabijo 40 % energije v Evropski uniji in povzročijo 36 % emisij toplogrednih plinov. Če želi Unija resnično zmanjšati porabo energije, mora sprejeti nujne ukrepe. Evropski parlament je marca 2023 sprejel osnutek predloga za povečanje števila prenov in znatno zmanjšanje porabe energije in emisij toplih plinov.

Podnebno nevtralen gradbeni sektor do leta 2050 – slovenščina

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.

Nekdanji voditelj Sovjetske zveze in soustanovitelj organizacije Mednarodni zeleni križ (GCI) se že dolgo ukvarja z varstvom okolja. Potem, ko je bil soavtor poročila o pomanjkanju vode, je Mihail Gorbačov pozval evropske in svetovne voditelje, naj ukrepajo proti globalni krizi z vodo, in obsodil pomanjkanje političnega vodstva. Evropski parlament je nagovoril leta 2009 med mednarodno konferenco Pomiriti se z vodo (Peace with Water). * Celoten govor si lahko ogledate v Multimedijskem središču Evropskega parlamenta: 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.

Okolju prijazno, biološko razgradljivo in podnebno nevtralno … V zadnjih letih so številne korporacije precenile ali napačno razlagale svoje zelene reference ter pri tem potrošnike pogosto zavajale s pretiranimi izjavami glede okolja in trajnosti. Do takšne mere, da se je v praksi uveljavil izraz »zeleno zavajanje«. Parlament je izglasoval prepoved zelenega zavajanja in zagotovil, da so podatki o trajnosti jasni in preprosto dostopni potrošnikom. Več informacij je na voljo v našem kratkem videoposnetku z razlago.

Razlaga novih pravil EU za preprečevanje zelenega zavajanja

Dvigovanje morske gladine, prekomerna sečnja, izginjanje biotske raznovrstnosti … Ljudje v EU ne glede na starostno obdobje so zaskrbljeni zaradi spremembe podnebja. Spoznajte Anu in Carlosa, zagovornika ukrepov na področju okolja, ki govorita o dejanskih ukrepih za planet. Prva je članica pobude »Activist Granny« na Finskem, drugi pa je član nevladne organizacije »Global Shapers« na Kanarskih otokih. Evropski parlament sprejema ukrepe za varstvo našega planeta, vključno z evropskim zelenim dogovorom, novo zakonodajo o emisijah ogljika in boljšem varovanju biotske raznovrstnosti v EU.

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.

&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. Find out more in our short explainer video.&lt;/p>

Po izvolitvi imajo poslanci Evropskega parlamenta pomembno nalogo. So oči, ušesa in glasovi Evropejcev v Parlamentu. Vi glasujete zanje, nato oni glasujejo za vas. Evropski poslanci delujejo v parlamentarnih skupinah, ki so nekoliko podobne strankam v nacionalnih parlamentih, poleg tega pa prisluhnejo pomislekom, ki jih izrazijo ljudje, razpravljajo, se posvetujejo z zainteresiranimi stranmi in glasujejo glede zakonodaje. Pridobite več informacij o vlogi evropskih poslancev.
