As early as day 11, EC presented a European Green Deal, a roadmap to stop climate change, cut pollution, and protect biodiversity. The European Green Deal is the new growth strategy.

The statement highlights the next steps toward a green Europe.
Additionally, the EC strategy for shaping the digital future of Europe covers everything from cybersecurity to digital education, from platforms to super-computing. It aims to help everyone seize the opportunities brought by technological change, within safe and ethical boundaries. It sets the path for developing cutting-edge yet trustworthy artificial intelligence in the EU, with proposals to come by the end of the year. It also lays out a Data Strategy to tap fully into the potential of data, for the benefit of people and businesses. The next steps toward a digital Europe include the following:
