Post 3/3 👉🏼Sufficiency is not about individual sacrifice, but a collective right to a good life. To make it viable, we need enabling policies – infrastructure, services, mobility, durable goods – not moral pressure on individuals. #Transformations #SustainabilityPolicy #GoodLife #ScienceForPolicy

Hoy compartimos una carta firmada por más de 2100 científiques sobre la urgencia de alcanzar la neutralidad climática y qué representa como oportunidad en Europa.

Conversely, analyses show that delaying or diminishing this ambition would:
❌Undermine the legal and international frameworks of the EU Climate Law and the Paris Agreement.
❌Increase significantly damage to humans and economy due to passing various tipping points
❌Jeopardize Europe's strategic position as a global leader in innovation and sustainable technology.
The scientific evidence calls for policy coherence. EU decision-makers are asked to anchor the 2040 target in the established scientific consensus ensuring Europe's safety, prosperity, and credibility.
The full open letter, detailing the scientific basis for this recommendation, is publicly available.

👉 We encourage you to read the findings and share this analysis to inform the broader policy discussion.

Aligning EU Policy with Scientific Evidence: The Case for a 90-95% Domestic Emission Reduction by 2040.

Alongside more than 2,100 scientist colleagues from across Europe, we submitted an open letter to EU heads of state and government ahead of the European Council on 23 October this week. The message, grounded in interdisciplinary research, is unequivocal:
➡️ The EU must adopt a 2040 climate target of at least 90–95% domestic reduction in greenhouse gases.

https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17399531

The primary data points supporting this position are clear. Evidence indicates that decisive decarbonisation is not only a climate necessity but a strategic economic opportunity, as it is projected to:
✅Generate cumulative savings of €850 billion on fossil fuel imports.
✅Stimulate the creation of over two million jobs in clean industrial sectors.
✅Enhance Europe's energy independence and long-term economic competitiveness.

This is from an article on Parkinson's disease and a probable link to herbicides, but applies to so many policy areas.

"Science for Policy" - This is what the Joint Research Centre does for the European Commission.

This department informs the policymaking process at all stages, making sure that politicians can access the knowledge and the science before drafting legislation.

I've had the luck of being part of this (at the time working on modelling the spread of respiratory diseases).
