Contribution to the COP 30 Presidency Roadmap on the Transition Away from Fossil Fuels in a Just, Orderly and Equitable Manner.

EIA's response focuses on three critical issues to the integrity and effectiveness of the revised Governance Regulation: avoiding deregulation, preserving the EU Methane Regulation, and  strengthening Member States planning, reporting and monitoring of fossil fuel consumption and production. 

EIA urges all governments and parties to the Montreal Protocol to apply the precautionary principle, wherever possible avoiding the uptake of HFOs to avoid unnecessary risks to people and the planet. Governments, parties to the Montreal Protocol and manufacturers and commercial users of these products must act to implement a transition away from all F-gases.
