The first climate-neutral continent!

Climate change and environmental degradation pose a threat to Europe and the world. To counteract this, the European Green Deal was born: a roadmap for making the EU economy sustainable and making the EU climate neutral by 2050. This means, among other things, that Europe wants to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to zero and also stop pollution. With a total budget of €1 billion, the Green Deal Call is the biggest ever call within the European support programme Horizon 2020 (H2020). If everything goes according to plan, Europe would become the first climate-neutral continent in the world.
