However, they lack concrete measures to achieve them, according to new analysis published on Thursday.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Last month, the European Commission\u00a0issued\u00a0its <a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/commission\/presscorner\/api\/files\/document\/print\/en\/ip_19_2993\/IP_19_2993_EN.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recommendations<\/a> on the draft national energy and climate plans (NECPs) submitted by the 28 EU member states to achieve their 2030 objectives.<\/p>\n<p>But \u201cwhile the plans include ambitious goals, they lack concrete policies and measures to deliver on the promises,\u201d according to <a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.webdoos.io\/planup\/06e613aa7833e7b9e21101e8777df74f.pdf\">new research<\/a> by the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.planup.eu\/en\/countries\">PlanUp<\/a> project coordinated by Carbon Market Watch, an environmental NGO.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Climate news straight to your inbox?<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/newsletter-sign-up\/\">Sign up here<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Finland, Sweden and Portugal in particular were praised for their \u201coverall high ambition\u201d when it comes to setting long-term energy and climate goals. But deeper analysis \u201creveals a lack of details and quantifiable expected results with regard to policy measures in the transport, buildings and agricultural sectors,\u201d said Carbon Market Watch.<\/p>\n<p>The NGO\u2019s analysis is hardly surprising. In fact, it largely corroborates the European Commission\u2019s own findings. When it issued its recommendations last month, the EU executive identified \u201csubstantial\u201d gaps in the draft national plans \u2013 particularly when it comes to energy efficiency \u2013 and urged all EU countries to submit improved versions before the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p>On transport, the five draft national plans were generally praised for addressing issues such as light transport, biofuels and electro-mobility. \u201cHowever, they largely fail to recognise the importance of tackling emissions from heavy-duty transport, shipping and aviation,\u201d according to the analysis by the PlanUp project.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Climate Home News needs your help\u2026<\/strong> We\u2019re an independent news outlet dedicated to the most important global stories.

Even though buildings are addressed in all of the five plans, they fall short, \u201cespecially when it comes to planning for deep renovation rates and energy efficiency improvements\u201d. Germany stood out in this area however, because it set goals to achieve carbon-neutral buildings by 2050.<\/p>\n<p>Agriculture is the other sector where the five countries were found to be missing the mark. With the exception of France and Portugal, \u201cagriculture is again largely omitted\u201d from the draft national plans, the analysis said, even though it has significant potential to contribute to carbon reduction efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Finland\u2019s forestry sector comes under particular scrutiny in this regard. Although the country <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euractiv.com\/section\/climate-environment\/news\/finland-pledges-carbon-neutrality-on-eve-of-eu-presidency\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">won plaudits for setting an ambitious goal of reaching carbon neutrality by 2035<\/a>, the current EU Presidency holder plans to rely heavily on surplus carbon credits from forestry to compensate for greenhouse gas emissions in other sectors.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2019\/07\/01\/finland-puts-climate-target-top-eu-leadership-agenda\/\"><strong>Finland<\/strong> puts new climate target top of EU leadership agenda<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cFinland\u2019s commitment to becoming carbon neutral by 2035 is very promising,\u201d said Agnese Ruggiero, policy officer at Carbon Market Watch. \u201cYet, relying on policy loopholes to reach climate goals is dangerous because it means that targets are met on paper but not in practice,\u201d she said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe final plan is an opportunity for the new government and the current EU Presidency holder to live up to its claims to lead on climate by committing to concrete measures in sectors such as transport and agriculture,\u201d Ruggiero said.<\/p>\n<p>A final area where all plans seem to be falling short is public involvement. While Finland and Sweden held public consultations to draft their national plans, France, Germany and Portugal failed to involve interested parties and the general public.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA more transparent process\u2026would ensure greater support and commitment from all parties involved,\u201d the NGOs said.<\/p>\n<p>EU countries have until the end of the year to submit revised versions of their draft national energy and climate plans (NECPs).<\/p>\n<p><em>This piece was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euractiv.com\/section\/climate-strategy-2050\/news\/eu-climate-leaders-praised-on-goal-setting-but-falling-short-on-detail\/\">originally published on CHN&#8217;s media partner Euractiv<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Finland, Sweden, Portugal, France and Germany praised for ambitious targets, but NGO analysis raises questions over details","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":39773,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4232,41,733,737,6,82,485,4231,3860,67,3883,3859],"tags":[],"coauthors":[4283],"class_list":["post-39771","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-agriculture","category-aviation","category-cities","category-efficiency","category-energy","category-eu","category-forests","category-land","category-road","category-shipping","category-transport","category-world","type-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>EU &#039;climate leaders&#039;
