Investing in a sustainable future
To build a sustainable future, we first need to have healthy Europeans
We will take responsibility for future generations, where some doubt the imperative to act and others spread fear, by preserving the environment, improving public health and building a sustainable economy.
We are fully committed to the ambitions of the Paris Agreement and now it is time to deliver on them. We call for an ambitious EU climate law with effective instruments, based on technological neutrality that raises the targets for EU greenhouse gas emissions to 55 % by 2030 and reaches net-zero emissions by 2050 at the latest.
For us, the ecological transition goes hand in hand with delivering economic prosperity and societal fairness. We will work for a transition that fosters innovation and provides opportunities for value creation and higher living standards in all corners of the Union in a way that is fair and just. We will strive for further free and fair trade agreements that secure jobs in Europe and export our standards and values. The EU we want is one that can deliver on its ambition to tackle the new challenges ahead. This is why we defend a modernised EU budget that invests in a brighter future for all. At the same time, we believe that EU financing should be conditional on the respect of the EU law.
We want greater coordination of health measures at European level. More concretely, we need to produce our own medicines and medical products and cut our dependence on third countries such as China or India. We are fighting for more solidarity at EU level, more resources to prevent diseases and promote health and more cooperation in research and innovation.
