Implementing the European Green Deal : handbook for local and regional governments

The present Handbook is a component of the Committee of the Regions' 'Green Deal Going Local' initiative to support the implementation of the Green Deal at the local and regional levels. As part of this initiative, it has created a web portal that provides updated overviews of policy developments of particular relevance for local and regional authorities. The European Green Deal (EGD) is an integral part of the European Commission's strategy to implement the United Nation's 2030 Agenda and the sustainable development goals, and the other priorities announced in President von der Leyen's political guidelines. It covers a broad range of field, e.g. climate neutrality, energy transition, transition to a circular economy, zero pollution strategy, farm to fork strategy, sustainable transport.
