2021 Highlights

Dear readers,

It’s a great pleasure to present DG Environment’s “2021 Highlights” newsletter - a special edition to wrap up the year and revisit many of the accomplishments of the past 12 months.

It’s been a busy and eventful year, delivering on the European Green Deal in challenging times. I am proud of all that we have achieved, but the road is long and we have much further to travel. I look forward to making good on our promises and sharing with you all that is still to come in the coming months and years.

In January 2022, we will launch a new monthly DG Environment newsletter. Please subscribe for monthly updates on EU environmental priorities, and join us on the journey to a future that is circular, biodiverse and pollution-free.
