EPP Group backs climate neutral goal in European Green Deal

The European Union has been leading the fight against climate change for some time now.

And with more and more young Europeans demonstrating because they want a cleaner and liveable planet, the new European Commission, led by Ursula von der Leyen, is becoming even more ambitious - setting its sights on making the EU the first climate-neutral continent by 2050.

The Commission is launching the European Green Deal - the Commission’s flagship initiative - packed with legislative proposals on how to achieve that goal.

Esther de Lange, EPP Group Vice-Chair responsible for Economy and Environment, explained more.
