ERUOPEAN GREEN DEAL

MAKING THE EU CLIMATE NEUTRAL BY 2050

The make-or-break decade has already started.

Making Europe the first climate neutral continent in the world: this is the goal that we are set to accomplish.

Our first major milestone down this ambitious path will be a 55% reduction of emissions by 2030. The decade we have entered will be decisive.

Climate change is the biggest challenge of our time. And it is an opportunity to build a new economic model.

We are at a turning point in the fight against climate change. We are the last generation that can still act in time. It is in our hands to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees, save our livelihoods, limit the extinction of species and protect the planet for future generations.

THE EUROPEAN UNION AS GLOBAL LEADER IN THE FIGHT AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE

The European Union is leading by example. The European Green Deal, adopted in December 2019, set the blueprint for this transformational change. All 27 EU Member States committed to turning the EU into the first climate neutral continent by 2050. And to get there, they committed to reducing emissions by at least 55% by 2030, compared to 1990 levels. These are legal obligations laid down in the first European Climate Law. This creates new opportunities for innovation, investment and jobs.
