Joint Letter: #EUGreenRecovery to restart Europe
Together with organisations representing millions of employees from Europe’s renewable energy and energy efficiency value chains, EuroACE called on EU leaders to make the European Green Deal the engine of the economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
We called on the European Commission to:
- Fully integrate the proposed economic stimulus packages and the European Green Deal
- Bring forward the necessary investments for rapid recovery
- Use the stimulus packages to accelerate investments in energy efficiency, renewable heating and cooling, electricity, mobility, zero-carbon buildings and industrial processes
- Ensure the ongoing supply of clean energy and ongoing investments in the energy transition can continue in the pandemic as essential services
COVID-19 has forced the world into an economic pause. Investments in energy efficiency and renewable energy are both labour-rich and shovel-ready, and can sustain local jobs across Europe.
