“To make decarbonisation a reality, voting down the eligibility of fossil fuels, including gas, is key.” This is the message sent today by businesses, local authorities and NGOs to the members of the European Parliament as they will decide this week if they will turn back the clock by allowing funding for fossil fuels in Europe’s regions from 2021 to 2027, or if they will choose a path of sustainable development for Europe’s regions, bringing them new jobs, competitiveness and modernisation.
The open letter, signed by 44 organisations and sent today to EU Parliamentarians urges them to rule out fossil fuel investments as they will decide on the spending priorities of post-2020 Cohesion Policy on 27 March.
