CEOs from leading European companies today called for a strong 2030 climate and energy framework with an ambitious renewable energy target, including binding national targets.
An ambitious renewable energy target will boost green growth, creating 570,000 more jobs and saving €260 billion in fossil fuel imports compared to a greenhouse gas (GHG) only approach,1 the CEOs from Acciona Energia, Alstom, Enercon, ERG Renew, RES Med and Vestas told the press at a "2030 EuropeBusiness" event in Brussels.
"We welcome the European Commission's commitment to a post-2020 climate and energy policy, which includes a renewable energy target. However, it doesn't go far enough," the CEOs declared.
