The European Green Deal(EGD) sets out to achieve net zero emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) for the EU as a whole by 2050, decoupling economic growth from resource use and transforming the EU into a fair and prosperous society, with a modern ,resource efficient and competitive economy. The EGD commits the EU to a change in policy direction towards more sustainability.

Climate and energy regulations in the single market context assumes particular importance for the implementation of EGD goals. Like the environment, climate and energy are areas of shared competence and are interlined, as (fossil) energy sources are a chief contributor to global warming. The issue of the most efficient policy mix between the ETS and regulatory measures in the field of renewables and energy efficiency is demanding: for instance, for carbon pricing to function properly, other policy instruments have to be devised so as not to interfere with, or distort, the price signal.
