@EUCommission 55% will still not be enough. We would have been better off if climate change would have been taken seriously since the beginning and not as a last resort thing just because we feel a tiny bit of uncomfortable since the last years. The EU is experiencing a huge authorative backlash, neo-fascist parties get to power, conservatives align with their talking points, here in Germany we have a new government which will make any progress in a good direction into nothing.

Your "goal" needs to be superseeded, so we can at least get less degrees Celsius than without ANY measurement. We have to get through this somehow. But it can only work if poltiicians on national and supranational level finally begin to include measurements which WILL hurt. Drastic measures, enforcing change and bringing those who still profit from this situation we ALL on this earth are in to responsibility.

No more nice words and goals which will not be held in 20 years. YOU need to act NOW!

It’s been 3 years since the EU turned its back on Russian energy, with a plan called . ⚡🇪🇺

Thanks to this plan and targeted EU sanctions, we've made major progress in:

🧑🏻‍🤝‍🧑🏽 Protecting citizens and businesses
💡 Avoiding energy shortages
🌬️ Accelerating the energy transition
🤝🏻 Finding more reliable partners

The EU’s reliance on Russian energy imports remains a security risk and the REPowerEU Roadmap, presented on 6 May, is our path to the EU's full energy autonomy. 🔋💯

Infographic titled "REPowerEU – EU Energy Imports from Russia" showing a significant reduction in the EU's dependence on Russian energy. It features three vertical bar charts comparing percentages over time. Oil imports dropped from 27% in 2022 to 3% in 2025. Gas imports decreased from 45% in 2021 to 19% in 2024. Coal imports fell from 50% in 2021 to 0% in 2025. Each energy source is illustrated with a distinct background texture: oil with a black swirl, gas with smoke, and coal with a coal texture. The European Commission logo is displayed in the top right corner.
