A EUROPEAN GREEN DEAL

A European Green Deal

Striving to be the first climate-neutral continent

Climate change and environmental degradation are an existential threat to Europe
and the world. To overcome these challenges, the European Green Deal will
transform the EU into a modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy,
ensuring:

 * no net emissions of greenhouse gases by 2050
 * economic growth decoupled from resource use
 * no person and no place left behind

The European Green Deal is also our lifeline out of the COVID-19 pandemic. One
third of the €1.8 trillion investments from the NextGenerationEU Recovery Plan,
and the EU’s seven-year budget will finance the European Green Deal.

The European Commission has adopted a set of proposals to make the EU's climate,
energy, transport and taxation policies fit for reducing net greenhouse gas
emissions by at least 55% by 2030, compared to 1990 levels. More information
on Delivering the European Green Deal.


HIGHLIGHT

Commission proposes 2030 zero-emissions target for new city buses and 90%
emissions reductions for new trucks by 2040

14 February 2023 – More ambitious CO2 emissions standards for new heavy-duty
vehicles are crucial for the transition to zero-emission mobility and achieving
EU climate and zero-pollution goals. The Commission has proposed stronger new
CO2 emission standards for these vehicles from 2030 onwards, and wants to extend
the scope to smaller trucks, city buses, long-distance buses, and trailers. This
proposal will also have a positive impact on the energy transition, by lowering
demand for imported fossil fuels and enhancing energy savings in the transport
sector.
