📝Our #EUGreenDeal resolutions.

1️⃣ Planting 3 billion trees.

By 2030, we want to plant at least three billion additional trees across 🇪🇺 Europe while respecting ecological principles.

The right tree, in the right place, for the right purpose.

2️⃣ Cutting methane emissions.

EU action on methane is essential to achieve climate neutrality by 2050.

We proposed strict rules on methane emissions from gas, oil and coal, to reduce emissions in these sectors by 80% by 2030.

3️⃣ Reducing air, water and soil pollution.

By 2030, with our #ZeroPollution Action Plan we want to reduce:
✅ by more than 55% the health impacts of air pollution
✅ nutrient losses and chemical pesticides’ use by 50%
✅ the plastic waste in our oceans by 50%

4️⃣ Investing in green fuels.

By creating a market for sustainable alternative fuels and low-carbon technologies, while putting in place the infrastructure to ensure the broad uptake of zero-emission vehicles.

5️⃣ Investing in innovative long-term energy storage.

By integrating renewable energy sources in the EU at the lowest cost.

This will help us reach our 2050 decarbonisation objectives and ensure Europe’s security of energy supply.

6️⃣ Increasing the charging points for electric vehicles.

By 2030, 30 million zero emission vehicles are expected to be on Europe’s roads.

We want to green Europe’s transport by installing more charging infrastructure for zero & low-emission vehicles across the EU.

7️⃣ Renovating up to 35 million buildings.

Renovating our homes and buildings will:
✅ save energy
✅ protect against extremes of heat and cold, and
✅ tackle energy poverty.

Increasing the energy efficiency of buildings will also create jobs in construction.

#EUGreenDeal

8️⃣ Increasing the renewables target to 40% by 2030.

Accelerating the rise of renewables will help:
✅ promote cleaner and cheaper energy production
✅ boost a sector with great potential to create jobs, growth and trade.
