According to EU Ambassadors to Moldova Peter Michalko, climate change and environmental pollution unfold at an unprecedented speed before our eyes, amplifying each other. The necessity of acting is clearer than ever. That’s why the European Union undertook the initiative in the global fight against climate change and, for now, an important part of the EU assistance is intended for the protection of the environment for ensuring cleaner air, land and water for the citizens.
The diplomat noted the European Green Deal presented by the EU in 2019 is a roadmap for making Europe the first climate neutral continent until 2050. It aims to make sure the Union turns into a modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy, where there are no net emissions of greenhouse gases by 2050 and economic growth is decoupled from resource use.
“Such ambitious objectives will make us all assume responsibility and become involved in the Green Transition. Each person’s contribution is necessary, regardless of the scope, so as to ensure a necessary level of social acceptance,” stated Peter Michalko.
