Italy pledges its support for Green New Deal

摘要

Italy will answer the call from Europe's new political leadership to pursue a Green New Deal, according to experts and government officials speaking at the Ecomondo circular economy conference in Rimini in November. The Green New Deal is a major legislative proposal supported by the new European Commission Presidentelect, Ursula von der Leyen. It will probably involve an annual GDP investment from EU member states to fund green infrastructure, agriculture and industry, with the aim of creating millions of new jobs and ending the era of austerity.
