What does Volt think? / Leading the Charge for a Sustainable Future

A bold strategy to meet the Paris Agreement 1.5° limit

  • Define the overall CO2e maximum budget for the EU that is in line with the 1.5 °C global warming scenario and takes into account the EU’s responsibility and capabilities. Make sure all legislation is in line with that maximum budget.

  • Initiate a climate emergency legislation package to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2030 compared to 2019.

Our political themes

Volt has defined 5+1 fundamental Challenges that need to be tackled in each European country and in Europe as a whole.

Why 5 + 1 Challenges?

The 5 Challenges are basically the same for every country, but their implementation can be adapted on the national level to take into account local realities.

The +1 Challenge – our proposal to reform and strengthen the EU – is identical across all our national programmes.
