The mid year UN Climate Change Conference in Bonn takes place 3 June – 13 June 2024 and EPN Biomass Action Network is represented there by several network members.
Once again we are bringing opposition to biomass burning as a climate solution to the UNFCCC. A group of campaigners from our network are attending the June intersessional meetings. We’ll be pushing the case to exclude co-firing biomass with coal as a form of ‘abatement’ of carbon emissions because it’s not – the apparent reduction in emissions is simply because of the failure to account for biomass burning emissions at the smokestack. Also important will be the push for countries to exclude biomass energy from their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) that will outline their climate plans for the next period, and to exclude large-scale biomass energy from the Global Renewable Energy Target.
