BackThe Roadmap reports results of scenarios with regard to EU-wide, sectoral emission reductions for 2030 and 2050 (compared to 1990). The BAK is in favour of the EU to continue to advocate that the group of the industrial nations reduces emissions by 80 to 95 % by 2050 compared to the level of 1990. This is in opposition to a unilateral commitment of the EU to achieve this target and is rejected by the BAK; as is the unilateral tightening of the reduction targets for 2020.
The BAK believes that, without the individual sectors fundamentally changing their consumption and behaviour pattern, the targets are not realistic. Experiences show that it has always been technology developments that have triggered changes in consumption and behaviour pattern. That is why the BAK emphasises the priority of a technology development policy over laying down targets, which have an “end-of-pipe” character. BAK underlines that climate targets may not result in promoting risk technologies.
