Climate change and environmental degradation are an existential threat to Europe and the world. Therefore in December 2019 the Commission presented a communication on a European Green Deal that sets out a detailed vision to make Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050, safeguard biodiversity, establish a circular economy and eliminate pollution, while boosting the competitiveness of European industry and ensuring a just transition for the regions and workers affected.

This video stockshot shows illustration footage of the damage caused by heavy floods that hit Slovenia in August 2023. Heavy rainfall caused widespread damage leading to the collapse of at least 7 main and regional bridges and impacted roads and the energy infrastructure. Thousands of people had to leave their homes, and many were evacuated by helicopters and boats. A large number of EU countries swiftly stepped in to provide critical assistance and equipment to Slovenia via the EU Civil Protection Mechanism, showing EU solidarity in times of crisis.
