The EU resolution responds to scientific warnings by urging governments to “phase-out fossil fuels as soon as possible”, but also demands for climate justice and a just transition, calling on European countries to “stand ready to contribute to closing the gap necessary to limit global warming to 1.5° C, in a just, socially balanced, fair and cost-effective way, while taking into account aspects of global fairness and equity and the EU’s historical and current responsibility for the emissions causing the climate crisis.”
