The Decision (EU) 2022/591 of the European Parliament and of the Council outlines the General Union Environment Action Programme to 2030. It aims to accelerate the transition to a sustainable, climate-neutral, and resource-efficient economy. 

The document highlights key objectives in such areas: climate neutrality, biodiversity, circular economy, pollution reduction, health and well-being, sustainable urban development, and global environmental leadership. Its main focuses include the implementation of the European Green Deal and related climate policies, enforcement of the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030, implementation of the Zero Pollution Action Plan for air, water, and soil, providing support for sustainable urban planning and development projects, and enhancement of international cooperation on environmental issues. 

This comprehensive programme is designed to ensure that the EU meets its environmental goals and contributes to global sustainability efforts.
