Green Deal europeo

This page is also available in:

L'11 dicembre 2019 la Commissione europea ha lanciato il Green Deal europeo, che rafforza l'impegno dell'UE ad affrontare le sfide legate al clima e all'ambiente, ovvero il compito che definisce l'attuale generazione. L'obiettivo del Green Deal europeo è trasformare l'UE in un'economia moderna, efficiente sotto il profilo delle risorse e competitiva, garantendo che:

  • le emissioni nette di gas a effetto serra siano azzerate entro il 2050;
  • la crescita economica sia dissociata dall'uso delle risorse;
  • nessuna persona e nessun territorio siano lasciati indietro.

Per realizzare il Green Deal europeo, l'UE sta attuando un pacchetto completo di iniziative, che comprende proposte politiche e legislative nonché lo sviluppo e la modernizzazione degli strumenti di finanziamento.

Il CESE ha chiesto un "Green e Social Deal", ossia un Green Deal che inglobi anche la dimensione sociale, sottolineando lo stretto legame tra questa iniziativa e la giustizia sociale. È essenziale ascoltare la voce di tutte le parti interessate al fine di promuovere le imprese sostenibili e competitive di domani in un ambiente sano.

Il Green Deal europeo ha posto un forte accento sugli investimenti e sul finanziamento della transizione verde e sostenibile. Il Green Deal è l'ancora di salvezza dell'Europa per uscire dalla pandemia di COVID-19. Un terzo dei 1 800 miliardi di EUR di investimenti del piano per la ripresa NextGenerationEU e del bilancio settennale dell'UE è destinato a finanziare il Green Deal. Questo aumento delle opportunità di finanziamento mira a far sì che la crisi diventi un'opportunità trasformativa per il futuro dell'Europa.

Il CESE svolge un ruolo cruciale nel monitorare l'attuazione delle iniziative e delle azioni del Green Deal europeo. Il CESE elabora pareri e organizza attività (cfr. menù a sinistra di questa pagina) per garantire che le istituzioni dell'UE tengano conto dei punti di vista della società civile organizzata e che le iniziative del Green Deal siano coerenti con le diverse situazioni economiche, sociali e civiche sul campo.

Data la sua natura trasversale e onnicomprensiva, il Green Deal europeo rientra nelle competenze di tutte le sezioni del CESE e della CCMI.

    This opinion is being prepared at a time where the shift to a low-carbon economy is more urgent than ever and where new "green" occupations emerge and existing jobs need to be "greened". This implies needs for new skill sets, which necessitate updated curricula or even new qualifications across education and training levels. These new "green skills" can range from very technical and job-specific skills to "softer" skills such as responsible use of resources, which can be relevant across occupations, levels of hierarchy and sectors. While the "greening" of the economy creates skill needs, particularly in specific sectors such as energy and resource efficiency, construction and manufacturing, moving towards a circular economy creates "green" skill needs across the board.

    This additional opinion updates and complements the proposals made in the original ASGS opinion, adopted in February this year. The EESC welcomes the step forward towards embracing a more social, inclusive and sustainable economic model, particularly given the economic and social effects of COVID-19. To support the economic recovery and public investment, and in support of a digital and green transformation, the EESC believes that a revision of the Stability and Growth Pact, flexibility in state aid rules and a rethink of tax policy is necessary. Well-resourced public health measures and social security systems are likewise of vital importance. The EESC also welcomes the Commission's proposals for Next Generation EU and sees the ASGS as an opportunity for the EU to shift towards an economic model that gives equal weighing to both economic and social objectives.

    Key points

    Global supply chains (GSC) are key and complex in economic activities across the world and in global trade. Economic growth, job creation and entrepreneurship are also contested by evidence of negative implications for working conditions as well as for sustainability in some supply chains.

    The COVID-19 crisis has unveiled the serious downfalls related to highly fragmented and undiversified supply chains. It exposed the vulnerability of workers' health and safety, and it highlighted violations of human rights. Trade will have to play a key role in promoting a sustainable economic recovery. However, stronger instruments need to deliver on a socially and environmentally responsible business, trade and investment agenda.

    GSC need to become more resilient, diversified and responsible, and ambitious actions need to ensure they contribute to a fairer economic and social model, based on sustainability and decent work.

    Securing sustainable access to raw materials, including metals, industrial minerals and construction raw materials, and particularly Critical Raw Materials (CRM), is of high importance for the EU economy. However, the EU is confronted with a number of technological and environmental challenges along the entire production value chain of primary and secondary raw materials.
