The European Green Deal Sample Clauses

The European Green Deal implies to accelerate the shift to sustainable and smart mobility to address these challenges. In particular, a substantial part of the 75 % of inland freight carried today by road should shift onto rail and inland waterways. Important investments are needed for that shift, including in the context of the recovery, and an essential part of them relate to the implementation of the Trans- European Transport Network (TEN-T) and to an increase of the Rail Freight Corridors' efficiency.

The European Green Deal launched a new growth strategy for the Union that aims to transform the Union into a fair and prosperous society with a modern, resource- efficient and competitive economy. It reaffirms the Commission’s ambition to make Europe the first climate-neutral and zero-pollution continent by 2050 and aims to protect the health and well-being of citizens from environment-related risks and impacts, while ensuring a fair and just transition, leaving no one behind. Furthermore, the EU is committed to ensure the full implementation of the Regulation (EU) 2021/1119 of the European Parliament and of the Council3 (‘European Climate Law’), the 8th Environmental Action Programme, and committed to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals.
The European Green Deal will lead to a progressive and profound transformation of the economy of the Union and its Member States, which in turn will have a strong bearing on the Union’s external action. It is important that the Union use its trade policy and extensive network of trade agreements to engage with partners on the protection of the environment and biodiversity also globally, while promoting a level playing field. (13) It is appropriate to set an overarching objective for ecosystem restoration to xxxxxx economic and societal transformation, the creation of high-quality jobs and sustainable growth. Biodiverse ecosystems such as wetland, freshwater, forest as well as agricultural, sparsely vegetated, marine, coastal and urban ecosystems deliver, if in good condition, a range of essential ecosystem services, and the benefits of restoring degraded ecosystems to good condition in all land and sea areas far outweigh the costs of restoration. Those services contribute to a broad range of socio-economic benefits, depending on the economic, social, cultural, regional and local characteristics. (14) The United Nations Statistical Commission adopted the System of Environmental Economic Accounting - Ecosystem Accounting (SEEA EA)14 at its 52nd session in March 2021. SEEA EA constitutes an integrated and comprehensive statistical framework for organising data about habitats and landscapes, measuring the extent, condition and services of ecosystems, tracking changes in ecosystem assets, and linking this information to economic and other human activity. (15) Securing biodiverse ecosystems and tackling climate change are intrinsically linked. Nature and nature-based solutions, including natural carbon stocks and sinks, are fundamental for fighting the climate crisis. At the same time, the climate crisis is already a driver of terrestrial and marine ecosystem change, and the Union must prepare for the increasing intensity, frequency and pervasiveness of its effects. The Special Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)15 on the impacts of global warming of 1.5°C pointed out that some impacts may be long-lasting or irreversible. The Sixth IPCC Assessment Report16 states that restoring ecosystems will be fundamental in helping to combat climate change and also in reducing risks to food security.
