PAC Scenario as a tool for civil society engagement: EU & National pathways for climate neutrality by 2040

The updated results for the PAC Scenarios will be launched on 23 March 2023 with a focus on EU and national-level pathways for climate neutrality by 2040. These can be used by NGOs and civil society to advocate for more ambitious energy and climate plans within their respective countries.

Can you imagine a world where we reach carbon neutrality by 2040? Where renewable energy fuels industry and provides clean electricity to citizens 24/7?

To reach such reality on European context, the European Commission introduced the National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs).

The NECPs allows Member States to monitor their progress and plan further developments according to the Paris Agreement, involving different stakeholders in the process.

However, currently, all Member States lack behind in their objectives, which drives us far away from a sustainable future

How can NGOs and civil society organisations push for more sustainable roadmaps?

 

The PAC Scenarios - Paris Agreement Compatible Scenarios for Energy Infrastructure, launched in 2018, will release an updated version for its second phase on 23 March, promoting EU and national pathways for climate neutrality by 2040.

Such insights will enable institutional stakeholders, climate activists and civil society to influence, for instance, the NECP revision in their respective countries, pushing for a more ambitious plan in line with the Paris Agreement goals.
