What is the EU doing?

The European Green Deal is our plan to make the European Union's economy sustainable turning climate and environmental challenges into opportunities, and making the transition fair and inclusive for all.

The Green Deal is the new growth strategy that aims to transform the European Union into a modern, climate neutral, resource-efficient and competitive economy. This future would include:

• no net emissions of greenhouse gases by 2050
• economic growth uncoupled from resource use
• no person or place is left behind in the transition to a climate-neutral and resilient society

EU missions are a major contribution to the goals of the European Green Deal. Each mission will operate as a portfolio of actions – such as research projects, policy measures or even legislative initiatives - to achieve a measurable goal that could not be achieved through individual actions. They are an integral part of the Horizon Europe framework programme.
