Goals / Remit
weCARE is a Brussels-based alliance of European NGOs standing for Clean, Affordable and Reliable Energy. Our goal is to promote European strategies for an all-inclusive low carbon energy policy that is based on scientific and factual information and can lead to a reduction in GHG emissions in line with the 2015 Paris Agreement, i.e. to global temperature rise not exceeding 1.5C. We believe that this can be achieved through a mixture of energy savings and the use of various low-carbon energy sources - for example hydro, wind, solar, and nuclear energy - provided that energy security and social sustainability are maintained at an affordable price.
Main EU files targeted
Energy and climate policy, carbon price, energy market design, energy economics, energy research & development, electrification, transmission & distribution, investment and funding schemes, Energy Green Deal, Sustainable Energy Taxonomy, REPowerEU, Net Zero Industry Act.
