Delivering the EU's Green Deal

Creating a climate-neutral society in Europe requires urgent action to redefine how we live and work, including the way we power our buildings and our cities, the way we heat our homes and the way we power and use transport.

Setting an ambitious path to become carbon neutral by 2050, the European Green Deal tackles our generation’s most pressing challenge – embracing sustainability to mitigate the impact of climate change.

The EU plan redirects public funding and mainstream private finance to help the world’s second largest economy stop greenhouse emissions in three decades, delivering a more sustainable, inclusive economy. The deal is underpinned by a growing body of transformative legislation and regulatory change, which public and private actors need to prepare for.

How we can help

Arup is helping a broad range of private firms and public bodies to anticipate and prepare for change, leveraging this once-in-a-generation opportunity for change. That means exploring the risks and opportunities, as well as readying assets and portfolios for a decarbonised world.

Our specialist teams across strategy and insights, finance and economics and sustainable investment services help a range of organisations to benchmark sustainable building design and investment strategies, including access to green loans; government bodies to set policy and funding levers to accelerate decarbonisation across sectors; or embedding circular economy principles and decarbonisation of infrastructure and services across their operations.
