A call for a profound transition backed by an unprecedented policy and funding plan
The European Green Deal calls for a profound change to accelerate the environmental and social transition, with significant commitments in terms of education and health, and the determination to generate long term positive impacts on the lives of citizens and businesses of the European Union.
