European Green Deal
The European Green Deal, approved 2019, is a set of policy initiatives by the European Commission with the overarching aim of making the European Union (EU) carbon neutral in 2050. An impact assessed plan will also be presented to increase the EU's greenhouse gas emission reductions target for 2030 to at least 50% and towards 55% compared with 1990 levels. The plan is to review each existing law on its climate merits, and also introduce new legislation on the circular economy, building renovation, biodiversity, farming and innovation.
