📝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.

#EUGreenDeal #ReduceMethane Image
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%

#EUGreenDeal Image
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.

#EUGreenDeal Image
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.

#EUGreenDeal Image
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.

#EUGreenDeal Image
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 Image
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.

Innovation. Clean mobility. Competitiveness.

After intense dialogue with the automotive sector, we presented the Automotive Package to support the sector’s efforts in transitioning to clean mobility.

What’s in the package: 🧵↓ An infographic from the European Commission on a solid blue background titled "Automotive Package: Support for a clean and competitive sector." The graphic features a central illustration of a white car body on a grey assembly line being worked on by two yellow robotic arms.
On the supply side:

🚛A targeted amendment to those for heavy-duty vehicles.

On the demand side:

🚚An initiative to decarbonise corporate fleets with binding national targets for zero- and low-emission vehicles.An infographic titled "Revision of CO2 standards" listing three points: a review of existing emission standards for cars and vans; the continued role of hybrids and internal combustion engines beyond 2035; and targeted amendments for heavy-duty vehicles. The bottom shows two yellow robotic arms working on a blue car on an assembly line.
👉 Leading up to 2035, car manufacturers will be able to benefit from ‘super credits’ for small affordable electric cars made in the EU. An infographic titled "Super credits" explaining that prior to 2035, car manufacturers can benefit from credits for small affordable electric cars made in the EU to help bring more models to market. The illustration shows yellow robotic arms positioned between two blue car bodies on a production line.
