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

By 2030, with our #ZeroPollution Action Plan we want to reduce:
✅ by more than 55% the health impacts of air pollution

✅ the plastic waste in our oceans by 50%

⭐ It’s time to wrap up 2021! Let’s have a look at the main highlights of the year!

💚More than a recovery plan, it is a chance to emerge stronger from the pandemic, transform our economies, and create opportunities for the Europe where we want to live.
🩹 What we’ve managed to achieve during 2021 was a true European success story.

✅All Europeans have access to vaccines.
✅Most vaccinated region in the world.
✅More than 1 billion vaccine doses exported worldwide.

Despite all the challenges we faced this year, 2021 has also been a year full of inspiring stories about solidarity, merit and hope.

We bring you 7⃣ inspiring stories of 2021!
1⃣ The power of science

In 2021, Dr Özlem Türeci and Dr Uğur Şahin, co-founders of @BioNTech_Group, received the Order of Merit – an award for their scientific persistence to develop a COVID-19 vaccine saving lives of millions of people worldwide. 🏅

An inspiration to all.
2⃣ The power of solidarity

In 2021, #TeamEurope shared over 350 million doses to low and middle-income countries - mostly via #COVAX. And our efforts will continue next year with more donations.

Because no one is safe until everyone is safe.

We aim for a fairer global corporate taxation.

Today, we propose swift transposition of the international agreement on minimum taxation of multinationals.

Implementing the @OECD Agreement Pillar 2 on the minimum effective tax rate is historic global tax reform.

↓ More
@OECD Our proposal sets out how the principles of the 15% effective tax rate – agreed by 137 countries – will be applied in practice within the EU.

It is a significant step forward for our fair taxation agenda.

#FairTaxation
Implementing the @OECD agreement on minimum effective taxation into EU law is key for:

✔️fighting tax avoidance and evasion
✔️preventing a ‘race to the bottom’ with unhealthy tax competition between countries
