The EU Green Deal aims to take the continent to net zero emissions by 2050, with an ambitious interim goal of reducing emissions by more than half by 2030. But it will also impact Europe's trade partners – not least South Africa – affecting several key sectors including agriculture, steel and cement.
From packaging and labelling regulations – which will affect food exports – to carbon tax impacting iron and steel, the EU's policy changes will impact SA industries to varying degrees.
The EU Green Deal (EGD) came into effect in July 2021, and is the continent's response to climate change and environmental degradation. It was adopted as part of recovery efforts following Covid-19.
