The European Green Deal is a package of policy initiatives, which aims to set the EU on the path to a green transition, with the ultimate goal of reaching climate neutrality by 2050.
It supports the transformation of the EU into a fair and prosperous society with a modern and competitive economy.
It underlines the need for a holistic and cross-sectoral approach in which all relevant policy areas contribute to the ultimate climate-related goal.
The package includes initiatives covering the climate, the environment, energy, transport, industry, agriculture and sustainable finance – all of which are strongly interlinked.
The Fit for 55 package aims to translate the climate ambitions of the Green Deal into law.
