“The European Green Deal is on the one hand our vision for a climate-neutral continent in 2050 and it’s on the other hand a very dedicated roadmap to this goal. […]

“I’m convinced that the old growth model that is based on fossil fuels and pollution is out of date and is out of touch with out planet. The European Green Deal is our new growth strategy. It’s a strategy for growth that gives more back than it takes away. And we want to really make things different. We want to be the front-runners in climate-friendly industries, in clean technologies, in green financing.

“But we also have to be sure that no one is left behind. In other words, this transition will either be working for all and be just, or it will not work at all. And therefore a crucial part in the European Green Deal is the Just Transition Mechanism. We have the ambition to mobilise 100bn euros, precisely targeted to the most vulnerable regions and sectors.”
