The European Commission is promoting the Green Deal project. The climate policy plans will have far-reaching effects on everyday life and the cost of living in Europe – if they can be implemented at all.
Buildings are the third largest emitter of greenhouse gases – accordingly, climate policy intervenes here too.
Until shortly before Christmas, the implementation of the Green Deal was being worked on in Brussels – the major climate policy project that is intended to almost completely eradicate greenhouse gas emissions in the EU by 2050 and to make the world’s second largest economy climate-neutral. At the last minute, a huge package of legislative proposals and strategies was published last week. Among other things, they aim to make buildings more climate-friendly, to convert the European natural gas market to hydrogen, to reduce methane emissions and that rail– and the Cycle to promote.
