European Green Deal

2020 | Tchetin Kazak
The article outlines the main objectives and characteristics of the European Green Deal, a roadmap for achieving sustainability in the EU economy by transforming climate and environmental challenges into opportunities across all policy areas through a just and inclusive transition. The implementation of this roadmap includes actions to promote resource efficiency through a circular economy, reduce biodiversity loss, and diminish pollution. It also sets out necessary investments, financial instruments, and the need for a just and inclusive transition. The goal is to transform the EU's economy into a resource-efficient one where economic growth is not directly linked to resource use, with a target of net-zero emissions by 2050. The European Green Deal outlines a plan for this transformative change, covering all sectors of the economy, including transport, energy, agriculture, construction, and manufacturing industries. Key initiatives under the European Green Deal include: 1. **Climate Law**: A legal framework for achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. 2. **Green Recovery Plan**: Strategies for adapting to climate change and promoting sustainable blue economy. 3. **Zero Emissions Plan**: A vision for reducing pollution to non-harmful levels by 2050. 4. **Blue Economy Strategy**: Focus on sectors related to oceans, seas, and coastal areas. 5. **Investment Plan for Europe**: A €1 trillion investment plan to support sustainable investments over the next decade. 6. **Just Transition Mechanism**: A fund to support workers and regions facing economic and social challenges during the transition. 7. **Next Generation EU**: A €806.9 billion recovery fund to support economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, with a focus on sustainable, coordinated, and fair recovery. The article emphasizes the importance of public and private investments, the role of the European Investment Bank, and the need for a comprehensive approach to achieve the goals of the European Green Deal.The article outlines the main objectives and characteristics of the European Green Deal, a roadmap for achieving sustainability in the EU economy by transforming climate and environmental challenges into opportunities across all policy areas through a just and inclusive transition.
