Green Deal
It will be recalled that the Green Deal is a European green course, a set of policy initiatives put forward by the European Commission with the general goal of making the European continent climate-neutral by 2050.
The project is preparing an impact assessment plan that will increase the EU's target for reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 by at least 50% and up to 55% compared to 1990 levels.
The plan is to revise each existing law on its climate benefits, as well as introduce new legislation on the circular economy, building renovation, biodiversity, agriculture and innovation.
