The European Commission unveiled a €750 billion plan that will attempt to fight climate change as the union recovers from the coronavirus pandemic.
The recovery plan, named “Next Generation EU,” is arguably the world’s biggest “green” stimulus. It adopts the Green Deal, which aims to fulfill the Commission’s pledge to cut down carbon emission by 50 to 55% in the EU by 2030, and reach “net zero” in 2050.
The specifics of its climate spending plans include building renovations, clean hydrogen, renewable energy, and clean transport.
To pass, the plan requires unanimous backing from all 27 nations in the union.

歐洲許多國家在這次的疫情中受到重創,在疫情趨緩後,現在的重點是如何修復受傷的社會。歐盟就因此推出了「下一代歐盟」計畫,要用7500億歐元,推動環保政策,打擊氣候變遷。
歐盟的目標,是要在2030之前,碳排放量與1990年相比,減少50-55%,並在2050年,達成碳中和。具體計畫包括建築物翻新、發展氫動力、再生能源與乾淨交通等。歐盟希望在疫情過後百廢待舉之際,讓綠色政策成為復甦計畫的主軸,也讓歐洲成為全球環保的領航者。
