Climate change and environmental degradation are an existential threat to Europe and the world. To overcome these challenges, the European Green Deal will transform the EU into a modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy, ensuring:

-             no net emissions of greenhouse gases by 2050,

-             economic growth decoupled from resource use,

-             no person and no place left behind.

The European Green Deal is also our lifeline out of the COVID-19 pandemic. One third of the €1.8 trillion investments from the NextGenerationEU Recovery Plan, and the EU’s seven-year budget will finance the European Green Deal.

To deliver the European Green Deal, the EU works towards:

-             Transforming our economy and societies,

-             Making transport sustainable for all,

-             Leading the third industrial revolution,

-             Cleaning our energy system,

-             Renovating buildings for greener lifestyles,

-             Working with nature to protect our planet and health,

-             Boosting global climate action.
