Introduction

Strong potential for better climate mitigation strategies.

By Gunnar Boye Olesen, INFORSE-Europe

During the year, a group of civil society experts from Belarus, Denmark, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Sweden, and Ukraine has analysed how our countries have implemented the European Green Deal through national climate plans and policies. For each policy measure, we evaluated how well the measure contributes to sustainable development towards carbon-neutral societies and how well it is implemented in the country or countries, where it is used.
