L-Unjoni Ewropea hija fost l-ekonomiji maġġuri ewlenin f’dak li għandu x’jaqsam mal-indirizzar tal-emissjonijiet tal-gassijiet serra. Fl-2020, l-emissjonijiet tal-gassijiet serra tal-UE naqsu b’31% mil-livelli tal-1990, l-aktar livell baxx tagħhom fi 30 sena, u b’hekk qabżu l-mira tal-UE skont il-Protokoll ta’ Kjoto li tnaqqas l-emissjonijiet b’20% sal-2020.

L-użu effiċjenti tar-riżorsi u l-ekonomija ċirkolari
Il-mod kif intużaw ir-riżorsi fl-imgħoddi – u kif jintużaw illum – wassal għal livelli għoljin ta’ tniġġis, degradazzjoni ambjentali u tnaqqis fir-riżorsi naturali. Il-politika tal-iskart tal-UE tradizzjonalment iffokat fuq l-imaniġġjar al-iskart ambjentalment sostenibbli. Il-Pjan Direzzjonali għal Ewropa b’Użu Effiċjenti tar-Riżorsi u l-Pakkett dwar l-Ekonomija Ċirkolari għandhom il-mira li sal-2050 jittrasformaw l-ekonomija tal-UE f’waħda sostenibbli.

Il-Konferenza dwar l-Ambjent u l-Iżvilupp tan-NU tal-1992 tirrappreżenta pass ewlieni ’l quddiem bl-adozzjoni tal-Konvenzjoni dwar id-Diversità Bijoloġika. Il-Ftehim ta’ Pariġi tal-2015 dwar it-tibdil fil-klima jinnota l-importanza li tiġi żgurata l-integrità tal-ekosistemi kollha u l-protezzjoni tal-bijodiversità. Bħala parti mill-Patt Ekoloġiku ...
