Pactul verde european

La 11 decembrie 2019, Comisia Europeană a lansat Pactul verde european, care consolidează angajamentul UE de a aborda provocările legate de climă și mediu – sarcina definitorie a acestei generații. Obiectivul Pactului verde european este de a transforma UE într-o economie modernă, eficientă din punctul de vedere al utilizării resurselor și competitivă, asigurând:

  • absența emisiilor nete de gaze cu efect de seră până în 2050;
  • creștere economică decuplată de utilizarea resurselor;
  • că nicio persoană și niciun loc nu a fost lăsat în urmă.

Pentru a pune în aplicare Pactul verde european, UE desfășoară un pachet cuprinzător de inițiative, inclusiv propuneri de politici și propuneri legislative, precum și un proces de dezvoltare și modernizare a instrumentelor de finanțare.

CESE a solicitat un „Pact verde și social”, subliniind legătura strânsă dintre Pactul verde și justiția socială. Este esențial să se țină cont de opinia tuturor părților interesate pentru a promova întreprinderile de mâine – durabile și competitive – într-un mediu sănătos.

Pactul verde european a pus un accent apăsat pe investiții și pe finanțarea tranziției verzi și durabile. Pactul verde reprezintă colacul de salvare al Europei din pandemia de COVID‑19. O treime din investițiile în valoare de 1,8 miliarde de euro din Planul de redresare „NextGenerationEU” și din bugetul pe șapte ani al UE finanțează Pactul verde european. Această sporire a oportunităților de finanțare vizează utilizarea crizei drept o oportunitate de transformare pentru viitorul Europei.

CESE joacă un rol esențial în monitorizarea punerii în aplicare a inițiativelor și acțiunilor Pactului verde european. CESE elaborează avize și organizează activități (a se vedea meniul lateral din stânga acestei pagini) pentru a se asigura că instituțiile UE iau în considerare punctele de vedere ale societății civile organizate, iar inițiativele Pactului verde sunt coerente cu circumstanțele economice, sociale și civice de la fața locului.

Datorită naturii sale transversale și atotcuprinzătoare, Pactul verde european este un subiect abordat de toate secțiunile CESE și CCMI.

  • Greater use of digitalisation in the construction and housing industry and the involvement of social economy actors in housing provision can bring opportunities to address current challenges in the area of housing affordability and sustainability in Europe. Since housing is not just a need but a human right, a pan-European response to the various challenges is needed, according to a conference organised by the Civil Society Organisations’ Group of the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) on 21 November, at which a new EESC study on the subject was presented.

  • 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.

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Maroš Šefčovič, Executive Vice-President of the European Commission, chose the conference Empowering consumers on climate change, hosted by the Civil Society Organisations' Group of the European Economic and Social Committee on 11 October, for his first green dialogue. Mr Šefčovič first spoke about the green dialogues at last week's European Parliament Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety hearing confirming that he would be responsible for the European Green Deal.

  • On 2 May 2023, the Liberal Professions Category of the EESC held the 7th edition of the Day of the Liberal Professions in Brussels. This annual event brings together key players from Europe's liberal professions, as well as key policymakers from the European Parliament, the European Commission and the Member States. This year's event was entitled Fostering skills and delivering the Green Deal.

  • 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.

  • 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.
