An ambitious “Fit for 55” Package – NGO letter

As part of the Coalition for Higher Ambition – an alliance of European cities and regions, businesses, business associations, and civil society organisations – we are calling on all EU institutions to put forward an ambitious “Fit for 55” package.

The legislative proposals that are part of the “Fit for 55” package should create synergies to accelerate investments for a clean and just energy transition ensuring that no one is left behind. This transition towards a fully decarbonized economy would be a unique opportunity to achieve a more prosperous economy and more resilient communities by creating more and better jobs throughout Europe.

Therefore, it is important that the package provides policy certainty and guidance for European cities and regions, businesses, investors and civil society while guaranteeing a strong and participatory governance framework.
