Hoping to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, Europe is posting the most ambitious climate goal on the planet.
With the post-Covid economic crisis, the European Union intends to articulate its 750 billion euro recovery plan between economic recovery and green transition, in an international context that is more competitive than ever.
As part of its Green Pact, the European Union has just raised its next level to less than 55% greenhouse gas emissions from 2030 (compared to 1990).
In other words, tomorrow!
