Green Deal
The President of the European Commission calls the newly launched EU Green Deal ‘Europe’s man on the moon moment’ – an ambitious, world-changing plan. At face value, it looks like leadership to me. 2030 goals include: 50% reductions in carbon (up from 40% previously), 32% renewable energy and 32.5% energy efficiency improvement. To get there, Eurocrats will use policy reforms on circular economy, mobility, building and renovation, pollution, ecosystems and biodiversity and food. The EU Emissions Trading Scheme will also be extended and will help to fund the economic transition. Make no mistake, the Green Deal is a big deal.
