OPEN LETTER: THE EU NEEDS AN AMBITIOUS INVESTMENT PLAN

The document argues that the EU lacks a long-term strategy for green and social investment, which threatens its competitive edge and the success of the Clean Industrial Deal. The authors call for a comprehensive investment package—including a greener EU budget and a successor to the Next Generation EU programme—to mobilise public and private resources for climate neutrality, biodiversity preservation, and industrial transformation.

• The EU currently lacks a long-term strategy to drive green and social investment, which risks undermining the future success of the Clean Industrial Deal and the region's competitive edge.
• A stable and predictable regulatory framework is necessary to attract private investment, as businesses require certainty to implement emission reduction technologies and circularity into their strategies.
• Public investment is required to guide a just transition and attract private capital, with funds targeted toward businesses committed to genuine decarbonisation and nature-based solutions.
• The authors propose a comprehensive investment package centered on a greener EU budget and a successor to the Next Generation EU programme, utilizing public banks and national budgets to build sustainable infrastructure.
