Dramatically improving our energy savings and accelerating the deployment of renewable energy through EU member states is whats needed to resolve the current energy price crisis and the ever-worsening climate emergency, both caused by our dependence on fossil fuels. We cannot afford to backtrack on this. Committing to higher EU energy targets is the first important step needed to accelerate the energy transition and address these issues.Please find our joint statement, . Yours sincerely, Patagonia EMEA, together with CAN Europe and Europe Beyond Coal, on behalf of over 100 concerned business and civil society organisations.
