ENVE works in fields related to the European Green Deal, which include the environment biodiversity, circular economy, zero pollution, climate change, energy, and space policies.
The Region Emilia-Romagna is drafting the Labour and Climate Pact together with the local authorities, universities, enterprises, trade unions and non-profit sector, in order to agree to full employment and green transition. The Pact is based on the existing Labour Pact signed in 2015 that helped to reduce unemployment, the number of NEETs, and school drop-out. The next European Structural Funds and European Social Fund 2021-2027, and other regional national and EU funds, will be programmed on the basis of the Climate and Labour Pact that will engage all regional stakeholders to build a green transition, aiming at: creating a plastic free region, climate neutrality by 2050, 100% of renewable energies by 2035, 80% of recycled waste and resources for adaptation of the land.
The Regional Vice President Elly Schlein is in charge of the coordination of the Pact ensuring coherence among the policies of adaptation and mitigation to climate change, those for ecological transition and all other regional policies; the permanent Pact Forum will ensure the broad participation and concertation of all stakeholders.
In line with the Green Deal and given the socio-economic consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic, the support for quality employment, cohesion and the fight against climate change plays a central role in the recovery of the regional territory.
The regional council is committed to expand the opportunities for democratic participation in the design of fundamental policies for recovery according to the principles of sustainability and equity.
The Pact will be signed by the end of October 2020 by all stakeholders.
