09.00 Europe's new Green Deal: Energy efficiency at the centre
Becoming the first climate-neutral continent by 2050 and simultaneously boosting the economy, improving people‘s health and quality of life, caring for nature, and leaving no one behind – these ambitious goals require ambitious measures. Energy efficiency as the "first fuel" of the energy transition is at the centre of this roadmap for making the EU‘s economy sustainable.
