EP intensifies efforts to improve environmental performance

The Bureau of the European Parliament announced ambitious goals for the 2019-2024 legislature in regards to environmental protection. The Parliament will politically, legislatively, and operationally assume the commitment of having a positive contribution for a sustainable development, according to Business-Review.eu.

 “Climate emergency is becoming one of the most acute problems of this age. This was highlighted in the previous European Elections, when citizens placed the fight for our planet at the top of the EU political agenda. The European Parliament was very active in previous years, reducing its impact on the environment. The Parliament is carbon emissions neutral since 2016 and we invite other European institutions to follow our lead, to compensate together the direct and indirect carbon emissions which cannot be reduced, as soon as possible. However, we must continue our commitment to permanently improve our environmental performance. These measures represent another step in the right direction”, says David Maria Sassoli, President of the European Parliament.
