Concept
Climate change is the greatest threat world is facing.The challenge ahead must lead us to change our perspective by redesigning an humanity no longer separate from its ecosystem, but one with the planet it inhabits.
The EU has set itself targets to cut emissions at least 55% by 2030 and reduce them to net-zero by 2050. Renewable energies, new technologies for food production, and the circular economy are key solutions for achieving the Green Deal goals.
Many revolutionary seeds have been planted across Europe to make the future sustainable for the next generations. The net-zero transition has already started and is set to be the next industrial revolution. These innovative technologies lead the way towards climate neutrality, inspiring a virtuous model that will generate a new sustainable cycle of life.
