Business people gathered around table

The European Union’s economy is 68% larger than in 1990, but emissions are down by over 37%. Other regions such as China and India are also making progress to decouple GDP growth from emissions, demonstrating that emissions cuts do not come at the expense of economic opportunity and prosperity and are not simply the result of exporting emissions.

Success Stories

We are highlighting European businesses that are taking serious steps toward reducing their greenhouse gas emissions while building strong, profitable businesses that are creating jobs. These businesses have seized the opportunity to innovate with circular economic principles, renewable energy, and leading technologies to provide the goods and services people need today.

Strong government policy and ground-up innovation are enabling real progress. Businesses are proving that reducing emissions can go hand in hand with prosperity and job creation.
