That is the main message in one new covenant, which the Green Transition Denmark has signed along with a number of European environmental organisations. The pact, drawn up under the leadership of the European Environmental Bureau in Brussels. At the same time, it is a clear call to vote green in the European Parliament elections this June.

It is important that many citizens, organizations and green front-runner companies sign the pact, which has 12 proposals for how we can solve the linked climate, biodiversity and pollution crises, which cause concern from the future. The pact recommends that the EU sets a new course in the next five years: a deep ecological restructuring of the economy away from dependence on fossil fuels and towards clean renewable energy, circular economy and organic food production.

A green alternative to the industry's Antwerp Declaration
The green future pact will be handed over to the next EU summit in mid-June, when the heads of state and government meet. The Green Pact is also a clear alternative to it Antwerp Declaration, which Europe's industry launched in the spring at the chemical group BASF's factory in Antwerp. Business Europe, a number of the major European industrial companies, including from the oil, gas and chemical industries, but also some trade unions and industry associations have signed the Antwerp declaration, which wants the EU to create a new industrial pact, which will easier to run a business, simplify the rules on the internal market, and strengthen the EU's raw material security. There are thus significant differences between the green organizations' future pact and the industry's Antwerp declaration.

Sign the green future pact
Green Transition Denmark would like the EU to pursue a more aggressive industrial policy in the next five years, which can also speed up the green transition. But it must be done with binding requirements. It is important that binding environmental requirements are set and high green objectives are set, so that Europe's companies do not compete down to a lower common denominator, or that the environmental requirements in the EU's internal market are relaxed. That is why we at the Green Transition Denmark strongly recommend everyone to sign the new green future pact.

You can read the entire covenant here.. Sign if you support the green future pact so that before the EU's next summit we can collect more signatures than those who support the Antwerp declaration.
