Joint letter: The EU needs an ambitious investment plan

NGOs and businesses send an urgent call for the EU to adopt a greener budget and a successor to Next Generation EU.

A coalition of 44 businesses, civil society organisations, associations and investors across Europe has released an open letter urging Commissioner-designates to prioritise investments in the green and just transition.

The signatories emphasise the need for a clear investment strategy to maintain the region’s competitive edge and achieve the climate and biodiversity goals outlined in the European Green Deal. They call for a greener EU budget and a successor to Next Generation EU – the Covid economic recovery programme – to be central to a comprehensive investment package.

They urge the new Commission to seize this opportunity to accelerate the transition to a climate-neutral, zero-pollution, and nature-positive future, benefiting both people and businesses.
