Under the European Green Deal, by 2050 Europe should become a climate-neutral continent and the transition to a circular economy should be completed, which will require significant funds.
We are confident that the European Green Deal can be a new strategy for the entire world... It is about investments, innovations, new technologies and we want the EU to be the leader in that regard, von der Leyen told a news conference.
She added that this would require significant investments, announcing that the EC would adopt a plan for sustainable investments in the coming days.
