Turning promises into policies! Europe Raises the Bar in the Fight Against Climate Change
01 January 2022
The European Union is attempting to turn promises into policies with its ‘Fit for 55’ climate bill, the Al-Attiyah Foundation reports in its latest Sustainability Paper titled ‘The Progress of Green New Deals in Europe and the US’
In July 2021, the European Commission presented a dozen legislative proposals to ensure its climate and energy laws fit the ambition of a 55% cut in carbon emissions by 2030, compared with 1990 levels. From phasing out the internal combustion engine to forest protection, no sector of the EU economy will go untouched.
