Evropski zeleni dogovor

This page is also available in:

Evropska komisija je 11. decembra 2019 začela izvajati evropski zeleni dogovor, s katerim je okrepila zavezo EU, da bo obravnavala podnebne in okoljske izzive, ki so bistvena naloga te generacije. Cilj evropskega zelenega dogovora je preoblikovati EU v sodobno, z viri gospodarno in konkurenčno gospodarstvo, in zagotoviti, da:

  • bodo do leta 2050 dosežene ničelne neto emisije toplogrednih plinov,
  • bo dosežena gospodarska rast, ki ne bo vezana na izkoriščanje virov,
  • nobena oseba ali kraj ne bosta prezrta.

EU za uresničitev evropskega zelenega dogovora izvaja celovit sveženj pobud, vključno s političnimi in zakonodajnimi predlogi ter razvojem in posodobitvijo instrumentov financiranja.

EESO poziva k zelenemu in socialnemu dogovoru ter poudarja tesno povezavo med zelenim dogovorom in socialno pravičnostjo. Nujno je treba slišati glas vseh deležnikov, da bi spodbudili razvoj trajnostnih in konkurenčnih podjetij prihodnosti v zdravem okolju.

V evropskem zelenem dogovoru je velik poudarek na naložbah ter financiranju zelenega in trajnostnega prehoda. Zeleni dogovor je za Evropo rešilna bilka za izhod iz pandemije COVID-19. Financiran bo s tretjino od 1,8 bilijona evrov naložb iz načrta za okrevanje NextGenerationEU in s sredstvi sedemletnega proračuna EU. Namen tega povečanja možnosti financiranja je krizo pretvoriti v priložnost za preobrazbo za prihodnost Evrope.

EESO ima ključno vlogo pri spremljanju izvajanja pobud in ukrepov evropskega zelenega dogovora. EESO pripravlja mnenja in organizira dejavnosti (glej stranski meni na levi strani), s katerimi zagotavlja, da institucije EU upoštevajo stališča organizirane civilne družbe in da so pobude zelenega dogovora skladne z gospodarskimi, socialnimi in družbenimi okoliščinami v praksi.

Evropski zeleni dogovor zaradi njegove horizontalne in vseobsegajoče narave pokrivajo vse strokovne skupine EESO in komisija CCMI.

  • The EU needs a pan-European policy response to its housing crisis

    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.

  • 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.
