Joint Statement Confirming the Green Deal as Europe’s Growth and Security Engine

The Green Deal is Europe's primary strategy and growth engine for achieving climate neutrality, and it should remain so.

Unfortunately, in recent months, the EU's Green Deal agenda has faced increasing pressure. The draft Council conclusions from April 2024, prepared by Heads of State for the next EU strategic agenda, mention the Green Deal only once. This shows the risk of losing focus on the Green Deal and its benefits, such as competitiveness, job creation, and sovereignty, alongside sustainability. Such a shift sends a negative signal to markets, investors, and citizens who need clear political commitment.

With this statement, EASE joins 400 stakeholders to demonstrate to political leaders the widespread support for the Green Deal. Europe can become a leader in energy storage and cleantech by acting on its Green Deal commitments.

Let’s not gamble on our future, let’s build it!
