Evolution of the legislative framework for achieving climate neutrality at EU level

Abstract

The article has as starting point, the major need to achieve climate neutrality, the initiation of those measures to support the implementation of the green economy, as part of the transition to a new sustainable model of economy, due to future threats and risks presented by the appearance of climate changes, the increase in the degree of aging of the population and the irrational use of resources that we are facing. In the current context, the analysis carried out takes into account aspects starting from the European framework of the climate transition and the consequences of the legislative proposals, to the existing barriers and the actions in order to identify the characteristics at the EU level that can facilitate this process of transition and last but not least, the opportunities that will arise in the future. Finally, we highlight the consequences of the legislative proposals, aiming at the active contribution to achieving the objective of climate neutrality, which is identified as the central pillar of the European climate framework. As a final consideration, achieving climate neutrality requires coherence in supporting the process of economic recovery, in correlation with mitigating the effects of climate change, reflecting of the challenges we face.
