Il Green Deal europeo per un continente a impatto climatico zero: la nuova strategia europea per la crescita tra sfide, responsabilità e opportunità

The ‘European Green Deal’ for Climate Neutrality: The New European Strategy for Growth between Challenges, Responsibilities and Opportunities This essay examines the ‘European Green Deal’, the new EU’s growth strategy presented by the Commission in December 2019 to achieve climate neutrality by 2050 through a better coordination among environmental, economic and social policies. The sectors of intervention, the financial instruments and the social perspectives of this strategy are illustrated, with particular reference to the recent proposal for the European climate law and its critical issues. The position of the Member States, including Italy, towards the Green Deal is then examined. Finally, the European initiative is discussed in the international context of the fight against climate change.
