March 13, 2023

Birdlife International, CAN Europe, European Environmental Bureau, New Economics Foundation, Transport & Environment and WWF provide their recommendations on the European Commission’s initiative to create a Green Deal Industrial Plan (GDIP)

The statement calls on the European Commission to:

  1. Focus the Net-Zero Industry Act on ambitious goals for 2030 with clear priority sectors
  2. Develop a strong investment pillar to back the Green Deal Industrial Plan and a just transformation of the economy
  3. Develop a green simplification agenda that improves permitting processes for green projects while complying with environmental laws
  4. Introduce strong climate, environmental and social conditionality in exchange for public support
  5. Claim stakes when grants to private companies are provided by Member States or EU funds
