Recommendations for the EU’s Green Deal Industrial Plan
Birdlife International, CAN Europe, European Environmental Bureau, New Economics Foundation, Transport & Environment and WWF provide their recommendations on the European Commission’s initiative to create a Green Deal Industrial Plan (GDIP)
The statement calls on the European Commission to:
- Focus the Net-Zero Industry Act on ambitious goals for 2030 with clear priority sectors
- Develop a strong investment pillar to back the Green Deal Industrial Plan and a just transformation of the economy
- Develop a green simplification agenda that improves permitting processes for green projects while complying with environmental laws
- Introduce strong climate, environmental and social conditionality in exchange for public support
- Claim stakes when grants to private companies are provided by Member States or EU funds
