As a response to the threat of climate changes, the European Commission (EC) officially adopted the European Union (EU) Strategy on Adaptation to Climate Change in 2021. The Strategy sets out how the EU can adapt to the unavoidable impacts of climate change and become climate neutral by 2050. In addition to the Strategy, European Green Deal (2019) is also a response to these challenges. The European Green Deal is part of the strategy of the EC for the implementation of the United Nation’s 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and aims to transform the EU into a prosperous society, with a modern, resource-efficient, and competitive economy, which will have no net GHG emissions in 2050 and where economic growth is separate from resource use. In order to achieve this goal, the Green deal predicts a 90% reduction in transport-related greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Particularly, The European Commission proposes more ambitious targets for reducing the CO2 emissions of new cars and vans: 55% reduction of emissions from cars by 2030, 50% reduction of emissions from vans by 2030, 0 emissions from new cars by 2035.
