The eight European Green Deal actions
With your project and funding from the European Green Deal, you can tackle (social) problems within one of the following actions:
- Climate: In 2050 Europe must become climate-neutral. To achieve this, emissions have to be reduced in all sectors, from industry and energy to transport and agriculture.
- Energy: More than 75% of EU greenhouse gas emissions come from the production and use of energy. The European energy system must therefore be decarbonised.
- Agriculture: Sustainable food production is important for our health, a healthy society and a healthy planet. It is therefore important that the EU food system is resilient and sustainable and that we reduce the environmental and climate footprint of the food system.
- Industry: An industrial strategy is needed for a competitive, green and digital Europe. Your project can offer a valuable contribution to this action.
- Environment and oceans: The seas, oceans and environment are a source of natural and economic wealth for Europe. By taking good care of them, we can continue to benefit from them in the future.
- Transport: Ambitious and fundamental measures are needed in the field of transport to make it efficient, safe and environmentally friendly. Innovative ideas are therefore needed to improve the European transport system.
- Tourism and regional development: Many of the actions are important to regional development. There is a strong need to invest in the recovery, resilience and reform of Europe.
- Research and innovation: Innovation and research play a central role in creating a climate-neutral Europe. The EU programme Horizon Europe plays a major role in stimulating innovation and scientific research.
