Manifesto on Implementing the European Green Deal in the New Global Context

The CEO Action Group for the European Green Deal reaffirms its support for the EU's goal of a 55% emission reduction by 2030, proposing a public-private collaboration focused on energy and food systems. The group commits to fostering harmonized innovation policies, preparing the job market through the European Skills accelerator, and aligning the EU green taxonomy with global sustainability standards. Additionally, the manifesto advocates for tax incentives to drive sustainable finance and the adoption of alternative proteins to reduce agricultural land use and CO2 emissions. To address energy security, the group intends to support the REPowerEU policy and accelerate the industrial uptake of hydrogen.

• The CEO Action Group supports the European Union's target of achieving a 55% reduction in emissions by 2030 and seeks increased public-private collaboration in energy and food systems, as well as in innovation, job markets, sustainability standards, and financing.
• To scale climate technology, the group advocates for harmonized, science-based policies to overcome fragmentation across EU member states and intends to work with the Forum's Global Innovators to establish Europe as a global innovation hub.
• The group aims to address the disruption of the employment landscape caused by the green and digital transition by conducting a survey on industry requirements and launching pilots via the European Skills accelerator.
• Regarding food systems, the document notes that agriculture occupies 39% of EU land and produces 10% of the bloc's carbon emissions; it suggests that replacing 10% of global animal protein with alternatives could save land equivalent to 50% of EU agricultural land and 700 million tons of CO2.
• To combat energy security vulnerabilities and the current energy crisis, the group supports the REPowerEU policy and plans to deploy pilot projects to increase the use of hydrogen in industries.
