This briefing shows that the only way to guarantee secure and affordable energy, and to climate-proof Europe’s food, is for the European Union to urgently increase climate action and to wean itself off fossil fuels, rather than opt for a dead-end route of more coal extraction and fracking. Oxfam is calling for the EU to agree targets to reduce energy demand by 2030 and to boost sustainable renewable energy to help cut emissions by at least 55 percent by 2030. These actions will help to keep energy affordable for Europe and tackle climate change – which will have most impact on the poorest people and reverse the fight against hunger.
