	EU industry needs ‘climate and resource frontrunners’ to develop the first commercial applications of breakthrough technologies in key industrial sectors by 2030. Priority areas include clean hydrogen, fuel cells, and other alternative fuels, energy storage, and carbon capture, storage, and utilization
	Digital technologies are a critical enabler for attaining the sustainability goals of the Green deal in many different sectors. The Commission will explore measures to ensure that digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, 5G, cloud and edge computing, and the internet of things can accelerate and maximize the impact of policies to deal with climate change and protect the environment
Goal 10	The growth strategy that aims to transform the EU into a fair and prosperous society, with a modern, resource-efficient, and competitive economy
	The common agricultural and common fisheries policies will remain key tools to support these efforts while ensuring a decent living for farmers, fishermen, and their families
	Particular attention will be paid to the renovation of social housing, to help households who struggle to pay their energy bills
Goal 11	The EU has the collective ability to transform its economy and society to put it on a more sustainable path
	The construction, use, and renovation of buildings require significant amounts of energy and mineral resources
	The Commission will rigorously enforce the legislation related to the energy performance of buildings
	To achieve climate neutrality, a 90% reduction in transport emissions is needed by 2050. Road, rail, aviation, and waterborne transport will all have to contribute to the reduction. Achieving sustainable transport means putting users first and providing them with more affordable, accessible, healthier, and cleaner alternatives to their current mobility habits
	The price of transport must reflect the impact it has on the environment and health
	The EU should in parallel ramp up the production and deployment of sustainable alternative transport fuels. By 2025, about 1 million public recharging and refueling stations will be needed for the 13 million zero- and low-emission vehicles expected on European roads
	Transport should become drastically less polluting, especially in cities. A combination of measures should address emissions, urban congestion, and improved public transport
Goal 12	the growth strategy that aims to transform the EU into a fair and prosperous society, with a modern, resource-efficient, and competitive economy
	Encourage changes in consumer and business behavior, and facilitate an increase in sustainable public and private investment
	The circular economy action plan will include a ‘sustainable products’ policy to support the circular design of all products based on a common methodology and principles
	Action will focus in particular on resource-intensive sectors such as textiles, construction, electronics, and plastics
	The circular economy action plan will also include measures to encourage businesses to offer, and to allow consumers to choose, reusable, durable, and repairable products
	Reliable, comparable, and verifiable information also plays an important part in enabling buyers to make more sustainable decisions and reduces the risk of ‘greenwashing
	A sustainable product policy also has the potential to reduce waste significantly
	Access to resources is also a strategic security question for Europe’s ambition to deliver the Green Deal
Goal 13	the Commission will propose a carbon border adjustment mechanism, for selected sectors, to reduce the risk of carbon leakage
	European ‘Climate Law’ for Climate Neutrality by 2050
	The Commission will adopt a new, more ambitious EU strategy on adaptation to climate change
	the Commission will propose a carbon border adjustment mechanism, for selected sectors, to reduce the risk of carbon leakage
	To ensure a toxic-free environment, the Commission will present a chemicals strategy for sustainability
Goal 14	Protect, conserve and enhance the EU’s natural capital
	Increase the value given to protecting and restoring natural ecosystems
	European farmers and fishermen are the key to managing the transition. The Farm to Fork Strategy will strengthen its efforts to tackle climate change, protect the environment, and preserve biodiversity
