Thematic areas of the Green Deal

Pollution reduction and sustainable growth

​The European Green Deal aims to make Europe climate neutral by 2050. To make this objective legally binding, the Commission has proposed the European Climate Law, which also sets a new and more ambitious target for reducing net gas emissions greenhouse effect by at least 55% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels. To achieve our decarbonisation goals, emissions must be reduced across all sectors, from industry and energy to transport and agriculture.

Clean, economical and safe energy

​Energy production and use account for more than 75% of the EU's greenhouse gas emissions. The European Green Deal aims to decarbonise the energy system, promoting innovative technologies and a modern and interconnected energy infrastructure, increasing energy efficiency and the development of renewable sources and the use of hydrogen.

Circular Economy and Energy Efficiency

​The European Green Deal also includes a plan for the circular economy in order to make products suitable for a climate-neutral, efficient economy and aims to regulate product design from its initial phase, with the intention of expanding the principles of the circular economy to all sectors of the economy: textiles, electronics, but also furniture and high-impact intermediate products, such as steel, cement and chemicals, through product and process innovation and the more efficient use of resources, innovative technological tools capable of increasing the life time of products.

Smart and sustainable mobility

Today, transport emissions represent around 25% of the EU's total greenhouse gas emissions and have increased in recent years. To support the transition towards cleaner, greener and smarter mobility, in line with the objectives of the European Green Deal, the European Commission aims to reduce emissions by 90% through sustainable, multi-modal mobility, with alternative refueling infrastructures and new digital technologies and supporting the introduction of charging points.

Greener and more sustainable agriculture

The current model of intensive agriculture is no longer sustainable and is one of the main causes of biodiversity loss and climate change; 1/3 of greenhouse gas emissions come from industrial agricultural production and 70% of them come from the livestock sector with the emission of various gases from CO2 to methane. The European Commission, through the Farm to Fork Strategy, intends to reform the agri-food sector and enhance biodiversity, using digital technologies, promoting organic farming, precision agriculture and the use of artificial intelligence and a short food supply chain .

Sustainable and digital industry and health

The European Green Deal also aims at a sustainable industry and health, through energy efficiency and the rational use of resources and intelligent, based on research and innovation, the digitalisation of production processes, the reduction of consumption and waste and a lower environmental impact

Sustainable construction

Buildings are responsible for around 40% of the European Union's energy consumption and 36% of greenhouse gas emissions, as most buildings are energy inefficient and powered by fossil fuels. The Commission proposes that starting from 2030 all newly constructed buildings should be zero-emission and for public buildings starting as early as 2027. This entails a profound energy efficiency action, accompanied by the use of renewable sources and a gradual reduction of fossil fuels in heating and cooling by 2040.

Net-Zero

​

“Net-Zero Industry Act” (NZIA), is the new European strategy for a zero-emissions industry to facilitate the transition towards climate neutrality and reduce Europe's high dependence on imports and individual suppliers of carbon technologies. zero emissions. The plan's goal is for the global strategic production of technologies that support the energy transition and reduce emissions to reach at least 40% diffusion by 2030. Net-Zero strategic technologies will play a fundamental role in the energy transition and climate neutrality process of Europe and the planet.

Sustainable Finance

The European Commission has defined a framework of sustainable finance, defining through the taxonomy green investments and sustainable economic activities to reduce emissions and tackle climate change, the ESG evaluation criteria in the choice of investments and a framework of financial resources for deal with energy transition and decarbonisation projects
