Why is it important?
The ‘European Green Deal’ (EGD) is a set of communications from the European Commission that outlines EU roadmap to climate neutrality by 2050. The policy envisions that, with the facilitation of speedy and just "green transition," the goals of environmental protection and economic development can be reconciled.
Perspectives
