Recital 2

(2) The communication of the Commission of 11 December 2019 on ‘The European Green Deal’ (the ‘European Green Deal’) sets out a new growth strategy that aims to transform the Union into a sustainable, fair and prosperous society, with a modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy, where there are no net emissions of greenhouse gases at the latest by 2050 and where economic growth is decoupled from resource use. The European Green Deal also aims to restore, protect, conserve and enhance the Union’s natural capital, and protect the health and well-being of citizens from environment-related risks and impacts. Finally, it considers that this transition should be just and inclusive, leaving no one behind.
