European Parliament votes for Higher RE and EE targets for 2030

After great work by MEPs José BLANCO LóPEZ, Claude TURMES, Michèle RIVASI and Miroslav POCHE, the European Parliament today voted to set a target of 35% Renewable Energy across the EU by 2030 and to increase Energy Efficiency targets to 40% by 2030.

These MEPs and the 671 others that voted with them have now acted to bring Policy in line with the Promises of the Paris Agreement. A small but significant step in the right direction. 2030 is just 12 years away though, so absolutely no time to rest on one's laurels.
