European Union Renewable Energy Directive

The European Union Renewable Energy Directive is a policy aimed at promoting the use of renewable energy sources, like wind, solar, and biomass, across EU countries. It sets binding targets for member states to increase their share of renewables in their energy mix by 2030. The directive encourages sustainable energy production, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and helps combat climate change. By doing so, it aims to create a cleaner, more sustainable energy future while also supporting job creation and improving energy security within the EU.
