A modern, resource-efficient economy and climate-neutral by 2050. This is our objective.
This week we kept delivering on Europe’s climate targets with new #EUGreenDeal proposals.
⚡️Energy and climate
🚆Efficient and green mobility
⚖️Combating environmental crimes
➡Europe needs to decarbonise the energy consumed.
Our proposals will help cut emissions by:
🔸facilitating the uptake of renewable and low carbon gases, including hydrogen
🔸ensuring energy security for all citizens in Europe.
🔸removing regulatory barriers
➡️Europe needs to balance out the impacts of CO2 emissions.
We need to:
🔸drastically reduce our reliance on fossil carbon
🔸upscale carbon farming to store more carbon in nature
🔸promote industrial solutions to sustainably remove and recycle carbon
What if the next big AI breakthrough came from Europe?
Today we announced an ambitious AI Continent Action Plan to make this happen ↓
Our plan includes:
🏭 13 AI Factories to drive innovation, connecting universities, startups, industry, and policymakers. These hubs will bring together top talent, high-quality data, and powerful computing.
↓
🚀 The EU will also set up AI Gigafactories with 100,000 state-of-the-art AI chips – four times more than current AI factories.
📊 Data Labs will curate large, high-quality data.
🎯 We are launching the Apply AI Strategy to boost industrial use in EU sectors.
The EU continues to ramp up pressure against Russia’s ability to finance its war of aggression.
We welcome the adoption by the Council of the 16th sanctions package.
This package targets systemically important sectors of the Russian economy ↓
#StandWithUkraine
Key sectors targeted include energy, trade, transport, infrastructure, and financial services ↓
153 vessels are now targeted by our measures.
EU sanctions enable the EU to list vessels that support Russia’s warfare against Ukraine. And now allow the listing of those who supported the operations of unsafe oil tankers.
