"Combating climate change is everyone's responsibility and at TECNALIA, we carry this commitment in our DNA"
The European Green Deal is the European Union's tool to address the challenges of climate change
The European Green Deal is a tool that the European Union launched in 2019 to combat the climate crisis. Its main objective is for the European Union to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. In other words, net zero emissions is achieved by offsetting the amount of CO2 emitted with the amount that is removed or reabsorbed from the atmosphere.
In the short term, the goal is to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions by55% by 2030, compared with 1990 emissions.
This Deal aims to transform the EU into a sustainable, modern, competitive and resource-efficient economic model that benefits everyone, with no people or places being left behind.
Main benefits of the European Green Deal
- Clean air, water and land, which in turn enable biodiversity
- Renovated and energy-efficient buildings
- Healthy food within everyone's reach
- More public transport
- Cleaner energy and cutting-edge technological innovation
- Products that are more durable and can be repaired, reused and recycled
- Sustainable jobs for the future and skill training for transition
- Resilient and globally competitive industry
To achieve the objectives set, the European Commission adopts a series of proposals for action in the fields of climate, environment, energy, transport, agriculture, finance, regional development and industry, with research and innovation as key cross-cutting levers.
