Climate change and environmental degradation pose
signifcant threats to the well-being of Europe and the
world. To address these challenges, the European Green
Deal is designed to modernize and transform the
European Union into a highly efcient, resourceful, and
competitive economy. The plan is focused on achieving
three primary objectives:
• Eliminating net greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 to
prevent further warming of the planet.
• Decoupling economic growth from the use of natural
resources to ensure sustainable development.
• Ensuring that all people and places are accounted for in
this transformation, leaving no one behind.
By achieving these objectives, the European Green Deal
will help protect the environment, promote economic
growth, and ensure that all individuals and communities in
Europe have access to a healthy and prosperous future.
