The European Green Deal can be described as the following: \u201cThe European Green Deal provides a roadmap with actions to boost the efficient use of resources by moving to a clean, circular economy and stop climate change, revert biodiversity loss and cut pollution. It outlines investments needed and financing tools available, and explains how to ensure a just and inclusive transition.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n In short: it\u2019s ambitious.<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s the EU\u2019s vision on becoming the first climate-neutral<\/strong> continent by 2050. And for now, the first main climate target has been set in the EU\u2019s first-ever Climate Law: to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030.<\/strong> Other key targets include<\/a>:<\/p>\n The Green Deal includes new rules for everyone: countries, sectors, companies, financial markets & institutions, and finally; consumers.<\/p>\n Think of new policies and strategies that ensure the establishment of a circular economy, sustainable food systems, affordable clean energy, reducing loss of biodiversity and sustainable transport systems.<\/p>\n The EU\u2019s Green Deal is a vision and decision that will effect everyone- including our Dutch economy.<\/p>\n The EU has very ambitious goals, that will most likely have major structural implications for the EU economy and, therefore, the EU member states. It will enforce new rules and standards on or energy consumption, the way we travel and the food we eat.<\/p>\n But this also means: opportunities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n In order to support this sustainable transition within the EU, at least a \u20ac100 billion<\/a> has been mobilized for sustainable investments<\/a> over the period 2021-2027.<\/p>\n And the Green Deal will only keep on evolving.<\/p>\n This means that if an industry or company is ready\/well placed for this transition, this will enable large opportunities regarding investments related to policy areas in the Green Deal. Indeed, an understanding of these new\/adjusted policies will be crucial in the analysis and decision making of investors.<\/p>\n\n
But\u2026 Will it affect me too?<\/h2>\n
