This is called the Green Deal.
☀️ In my speech I recalled the role that we have played from the Socialists and Democrats Group in the European Parliament to achieve an ambitious Renewable Directive, with its objective of 42.5% of final energy consumed by 2030, which is approximately double what it is now.
