EU Green Deal
The path to EU climate neutrality
With the "Green Deal", the European Commission has presented a far-reaching program for more climate and environmental protection in the EU in 2019. The central goal is to become climate neutral by 2050, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 55% compared to 1990 emission levels and to further promote the circular economy in Europe.
The "Fit for 55 Package" published by the Commission in 2021 sets out the measures that EU countries must implement to achieve these goals.
