The European Commission released legal documents on "Delivering the European Green Deal," which list the essential policies and actions required to attain carbon neutrality by 2050. These publications cover a wide range of topics, including as infrastructure for alternative fuels, automobile pollution regulations, a social climate fund, and revisions to the emissions trading system. They are vital in guiding Europe's shift to a low-carbon, sustainable economy by highlighting progress that is irreversible, predictable, and equitable.
