Ten Recommendations Towards Transformative EU Climate Policy

 
An animated infographic depicting interconnected gears representing key elements of transformative EU climate policy. The gears are color-coded to represent different themes: yellow for integration, purple for infrastructure, green for innovation, and blue for investment. Each gear is labeled with specific actions or strategies, such as "Principled priority to climate & do-no-harm principle," "Strengthen EU Integrated Infrastructure Planning," and "European Climate Investment Plan."

The EU aims for Europe to become the first climate-neutral continent. However, it is not on track to meet it's 2050 target and significant gaps in innovation, investment, infrastructure, and policy integration remain. The 4i-TRACTION project identified slow infrastructure development, a €406 billion annual investment gap, insufficient innovation across the innovation chain and uneven integration across sectors as a key.

To achieve climate neutrality, a whole-of-government approach, increased public funding, and strategic policy support are essential. The 4i-TRACTION project outlined ten policy recommendations for future EU climate action. This infographic, conceptualised and designed by Ecologic Institute, outlines ten policy recommendations for future EU climate action.
