The Clean Industrial Deal (CID) is expected within the first 100 days of the new Commission and foreseen to be published by 26 February 2025.  This can be a major opportunity to accelerate the shift towards sustainability within Europe and globally, supporting industry, health, wellbeing and quality jobs, and addressing the triple crisis. Europe (and the world) is threatened by a triple climate, biodiversity and pollution crisis. Industry’s sustainability and competitiveness cannot be secured by degrading further our climate, environment, health and society or disregarding public acceptance. We must, therefore, harness climate, zero pollution and nature-positive frontrunner solutions and boost industrial innovation through regulation to make the Clean Industrial Deal an effective tool to underpin the European Green Deal (EGD)
