Comhaontú Glas don Eoraip

This page is also available in:

An 11 Nollaig 2019, sheol an Coimisiún Eorpach an Comhaontú Glas don Eoraip lena dtreisítear tiomantas an Aontais dul i ngleic leis na dúshláin a bhaineann leis an aeráid agus leis an gcomhshaol, arb é cúram sainithe na glúine seo é. Is é is cuspóir don Chomhaontú Glas don Eoraip geilleagar nua-aimseartha iomaíoch atá tíosach ar acmhainní a dhéanamh den Aontas, rud lena n-áiritheofar an méid seo a leanas:

  • beifear gan glanastaíochtaí gás ceaptha teasa faoi 2050;
  • geilleagar ina scarfar fás eacnamaíoch ó úsáid acmhainní;
  • geilleagar nach bhfágfar aon duine ná ionad ar lár ann.

Chun an Comhaontú Glas don Eoraip a chur i gcrích, tá pacáiste cuimsitheach tionscnamh á chur i gcrích ag an Aontas, lena n-áirítear tograí beartais agus reachtacha mar aon le forbairt agus nuachóiriú na n-ionstraimí maoiniúcháin.

Bhí sé á iarraidh ag CESE go mbeadh ‘Comhaontú Glas agus Sóisialta’ ann, agus béim á leagan aige ar an dlúthnasc idir an Comhaontú Glas agus ceartas sóisialta. Tá sé ríthábhachtach go n-éistfear le tuairimí na ngeallsealbhóirí uile chun na cuideachtaí inbhuanaithe iomaíocha a bheidh ann amach anseo a chothú i dtimpeallacht shláintiúil.

Leis an gComhaontú Glas don Eoraip, leagadh béim láidir ar infheistíocht agus ar mhaoiniú an aistrithe ghlais agus inbhuanaithe. Is é an Comhaontú Glas a thabharfaidh an Eoraip slán ó phaindéim COVID-19. Is le haon trian de na hinfheistíochtaí ón bPlean Téarnaimh Next Generation EU dar luach 1.8 trilliún euro, agus le buiséad seacht mbliana an Aontais a mhaoinítear an Comhaontú Glas don Eoraip. Tá sé i gceist leis na deiseanna cistiúcháin nua sin leas a bhaint as an ngéarchéim chun todhchaí na hEorpa a mhúnlú.

Tá ról ríthábhachtach ag CESE maidir le faireachán a dhéanamh ar chur chun feidhme thionscnaimh agus ghníomhaíochtaí an Chomhaontaithe Ghlais don Eoraip. Ullmhaíonn CESE tuairimí agus eagraíonn sé gníomhaíochtaí (féach an roghchlár ar thaobh na láimhe clé den leathanach seo) chun a áirithiú go gcuireann institiúidí an Aontais tuairimí na sochaí sibhialta eagraithe san áireamh agus go bhfuil tionscnaimh an Chomhaontaithe Ghlais ag teacht leis na cúinsí eacnamaíocha, sóisialta agus sibhialta ar an láthair.

Mar gheall ar a idirdhisciplíní agus a uilechuimsithí atá sé, cumhdaítear an Comhaontú Glas don Eoraip le rannóga uile CESE agus CCMI.

  • EESC calls for recalibration of the EU Green Deal to address emerging challenges

    Almost five years after it was launched, the Green Deal – Europe’s blueprint for a carbon-free Europe – has seen its implementation become increasingly complex. It is high time for a review of the green transition targets and to ensure they will not be achieved at the expense of Europe’s industrial and social systems, workers’ well-being and the EU’s competitiveness.

  • What EU policies are needed for enterprises/business to become competitive in a fair, sustainable, stronger and more resilient way to realize the European Green Deal

    The EESC:

    • points out that there is still a long way to go to reach the final objectives of decarbonisation and transition to a more sustainable economy, objectives that were set out by the Commission in its original Green Deal formulation. Companies need much more certainty, global agreement, guidance, sophisticated accountability methods and, ultimately, support from legislators;
    • highlights the urgent need for public funds to be strategically allocated to goals that are jointly agreed on by European policy-makers and civil society. This initiative must be closely interlinked with the industrial strategy;
    • emphasises that Member States need EU-level support and civil society input to assist companies through guidance, benchmarking and shared learning capacities to adopt and carry out the structural reforms flowing from the Green Deal: bolstering employment rates, enhancing access to skills and labour, and promoting flexibility and efficiency in labour markets.

  • How to recalibrate the Green Deal that it fits for purpose

    The EESC:

    1. while fully supporting the Green Deal and its objectives, points out the need to assess it in order to gauge its response to exogenic shocks, the geopolitical situation, and technological, social and economic developments, as well as to measure progress achieved thus far;

       

    2. calls on the European Commission to initiate the mapping of measures adopted under the Green Deal to address overlaps, conflicts and the cumulative administrative burden and to provide a publicly available online dashboard recording each Member State's progress in this domain;

       

    3. points out that the EESC itself should be empowered and endowed with the necessary resources to play the role of independent monitor of Green Deal implementation, since it is in a position to create a fact-based picture of the progress achieved within the different pillars of the Green Deal.

  • Social Dialogue within the Green Transition - Press Release

    The transition towards a low-carbon economy is a fundamental priority. But the green transition will fail without social dialogue. This represented a general agreement among the discussions during the meeting, particularly if climate policies were not made also socially sustainable and did not take into account the needs and worries of working people, of citizens. Key points raised during the debates included the fact that real wages were decreasing with the soaring inflation, the complementarity of fighting climate change and protecting social rights, and the fundamental role of involving Trade Unions in the design and implementation of policies within the Green Deal.

  • There will be no just transition to low-carbon societies without civil society involvement

    Academia, local civil society organisations, representatives of regional and national authorities and members of the European Economic and Social Committee met at a conference in Dolni Vítkovice, a former industrial area for coal mining and steel production in Ostrava, on 11 October 2022. The conference on Reinventing the Moravian-Silesian Region in search of a socially just transition was organised by the EESC's Civil Society Organisations' Group as part of the Czech Presidency of the Council of the EU.

  • Recovery will succeed only if the European civil society is systematically involved

    In its resolution on the involvement of organised civil society in the implementation and monitoring of the National Recovery and Resilience Plans (NRRPs) the European Economic and Social Committee calls for clear rules to effectively involve social partners and civil society organisations in the Member states' strategies to bring the economy back on track.
