Euroopan vihreän kehityksen ohjelma

This page is also available in

Euroopan komissio käynnisti 11. joulukuuta 2019 Euroopan vihreän kehityksen ohjelman, jolla vahvistetaan EU:n sitoutumista nykysukupolven tärkeimmän tehtävän hoitamiseen eli ilmasto- ja ympäristöhaasteiden ratkaisemiseen. Ohjelman tavoitteena on tehdä EU:sta moderni, resurssitehokas ja kilpailukykyinen talous, jossa

  • kasvihuonekaasujen nettopäästöjä ei vuonna 2050 enää ole
  • talouskasvu on irrotettu resurssien käytöstä
  • yhtäkään ihmistä ja aluetta ei jätetä jälkeen muista.

Euroopan vihreän kehityksen ohjelman toteuttamiseksi EU vie parhaillaan läpi laajaa aloitepakettia, johon sisältyy toimintapoliittisia ehdotuksia, lainsäädäntöehdotuksia sekä rahoitusvälineiden kehittämis- ja nykyaikaistamistoimia.

ETSK on peräänkuuluttanut ”vihreän ja sosiaalisen kehityksen ohjelmaa” ja korostanut vihreän kehityksen ohjelman ja sosiaalisen oikeudenmukaisuuden tiivistä yhteyttä. On olennaisen tärkeää kuulla kaikkien sidosryhmien näkemyksiä, jotta voidaan edistää kestävyysperiaatteiden mukaisten ja kilpailukykyisten tulevaisuuden yritysten toimintaa terveessä ympäristössä.

Euroopan vihreän kehityksen ohjelmassa painotetaan voimakkaasti investointeja ja vihreän ja kestävän siirtymän rahoitusta, ja se on Euroopalle ratkaisevan tärkeä keino selviytyä covid-19-pandemiasta. Kolmasosa NextGenerationEU-elpymissuunnitelman 1,8 biljoonan euron investoinneista ja EU:n seitsenvuotisesta budjetista käytetään vihreän kehityksen ohjelman rahoittamiseen. Näiden parannettujen rahoitusmahdollisuuksien avulla pyritään muuttamaan kriisi Euroopan tulevaisuuden kannalta käänteentekeväksi mahdollisuudeksi.

ETSK:lla on keskeinen rooli Euroopan vihreän kehityksen ohjelmaan liittyvien aloitteiden ja toimien toteutuksen seurannassa. ETSK laatii lausuntoja ja järjestää toimintaa (ks. sivun vasemmassa laidassa oleva valikko) varmistaakseen, että EU:n toimielimet ottavat järjestäytyneen kansalaisyhteiskunnan näkemykset huomioon ja että vihreän kehityksen ohjelmaan liittyvät aloitteet eivät ole ristiriidassa ruohonjuuritason taloudellisen, sosiaalisen ja yhteiskunnallisen tilanteen kanssa.

Euroopan vihreän kehityksen ohjelma on monialaisuutensa ja kokonaisvaltaisuutensa vuoksi aihe, jota käsitellään kaikissa ETSK:n jaostoissa ja CCMI:ssä.

Compatibility of EU trade policy with the European Green Deal (own-initiative opinion)

Opinion
Hyväksytyt on 18/09/2020
Viite: 
NAT/791-EESC-2020-EESC-2020-01349
Rapporteur: 
John BRYAN (Ireland)

This opinion deals with three of four megatrends at the heart of the new Commission priorities: climate change, biodiversity loss and globalisation. While the European Green Deal will result in higher environmental standards with, for instance, stricter climate change targets, it is important that all Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) are not undermining these improvements by contributing to deforestation or biodiversity loss in other countries. As one of the world's largest importer of energy, agricultural goods and raw materials, the EU has contributed to deforestation and biodiversity loss in other countries.

ETSK:n lausunto: Compatibility of EU trade policy with the European Green Deal (own-initiative opinion)

Universal access to housing that is decent, sustainable and affordable over the long term

Opinion
Hyväksytyt on 18/09/2020

Rapporteur: 
Raymond HENCKS (Luxembourg)
Co-rapporteur: 
András EDELÉNYI (Employers - GR I/Hungary)

The health, economic and social crisis of COVID-19 has intensified the severity of the affordable housing crisis that Member States have been facing for years, particularly for homeless people, overcrowded households, residents of working class neighbourhoods and seasonal workers and immigrants – victims of housing conditions that have directly affected the infection rate in society. Although housing policy remains the competence of the Member States, the shortage of decent and affordable housing in the European Union requires a European action plan on housing that includes a comprehensive set of measures, which are easy for people to understand, to help Member States, regions and cities in Europe to sustainably boost the supply of social and affordable housing and effectively combat homelessness.

ETSK:n lausunto: Universal access to housing that is decent, sustainable and affordable over the long term

Decent minimum wages across Europe

SOC/632-EESC-2020
Rapporteur: 
Stefano MALLIA (Employers - GR I/Malta), Oliver RÖPKE (Workers - GR II/Austria) (Employers - GR I / Malta)

This exploratory opinion was requested by the European Parliament with a view to a forthcoming Commission initiative on fair minimum wages. The question of Decent minimum wages across Europe is a complex and sensitive issue. It is important that any EU action is based on accurate analysis and understanding of the situation and sensitivities in the Member States and fully respects the social partners' role and autonomy, as well as the different industrial relations models.

ETSK:n lausunto: Decent minimum wages across Europe

Fostering competitiveness, innovation, growth and job creation by advancing in global regulatory cooperation, by supporting a renewed multilateral trading scheme and by reducing market-distorting subsidies (own-initiative opinion)

Opinion
Hyväksytyt on 15/07/2020
Viite: 
CCMI/175-EESC-2020
Rapporteur: 
Georgi STOEV (Employers - GR I / Bulgaria)
Co-rapporteur: 
Thomas STUDENT (Germany)

Disruptions like coronavirus (COVID-19) threaten to bring the world economy and social life to a standstill. Its impacts include recessions in the USA, the EU, Japan and other regions of the world, extremely slow growth in China and huge losses in terms of output. Governments have to offset economic damage with fiscal and monetary policies and cope with the expected changes of the economic paradigm. The EESC stresses the need for efficient business models and trade defence mechanisms, in particular with regard to Asia, and notes that 36 million jobs in the EU depend on the EU's exporting potential, and that the share of EU employment supported by sales of goods and services to the rest of the world in relation to total employment increased from 10.1% in 2000 to 15.3% in 2017. The fiscal, economic and social response to the crisis is necessary for preventing its negative impact on these and other sectors.

A post COVID-19 emergency: the design of a New Multilateral Matrix (own-initiative opinion)

Opinion
Hyväksytyt on 15/07/2020
Viite: 
REX/529-EESC-2020
Rapporteur: 
Emmanuelle BUTAUD-STUBBS (France)

The unprecedented magnitude of the COVID crisis requires an unprecedented, long-term and unequivocal response. International trade is a vital tool to finance recovery ge get out of the crisis. In these efforts, the EU must stay true to its values and ensure the protection of businesses, workers and people, leaving no one behind. Recovery must be based on sustainability, and inclusive and green growth. Green Deal measures are therefore more relevant than ever.

Financing the Transition to a Low-Carbon Economy and the Challenges in Financing Climate Change Adaptation (Exploratory opinion at the request of the Croatian presidency)

Opinion
Hyväksytyt on 10/06/2020
Viite: 
NAT/778-EESC-2019
Rapporteur: 
Toni VIDAN (Croatia)
Co-rapporteur: 
Dimitris DIMITRIADIS (Employers - GR I/Greece)

The transition to a low-carbon economy is the EU's goal and obligation and the EU committed itself to implement this transition in a socially just and cost-effective manner. It is thus important to examine all the feasible ways of financing climate neutrality, and possibly find new and innovative financing models in the near future.
