The EU is reaffirming its commitment to climate goals through its clean industrial deal, which aims to assist highly polluting sectors like steel and cement in transitioning to net zero emissions. Published alongside plans to reduce energy costs for businesses, the deal outlines 40 measures, including faster permits for renewable energy infrastructure and changes in public procurement regulations. Teresa Ribera from the European Commission defended the initiative against criticism, stating that the EU is not reversing its climate agenda, but rather moving into the implementation phase and emphasizing the need to support the industry in the green transition.
