In July 2021, the European Union adopted the first climate law as part of the European Green Deal. The goal of the deal is to ensure at least 55% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 (compared to 1990 emission levels), 3 billion additional trees to be planted in the EU by 2030, and be the first climate-neutral continent with no net emissions of greenhouse gases by 2050.
In this guide created by our Green Desk, we explain the content of the new regulation and actionable steps to take to benefit as a GreenTech founder or visionary. The guide addresses each section of the deal including:
- Climate
- Energy and fuels
- Products and packaging
- Transport
- Buildings
- Land Use and Forestry
