Energy transformation implies multi-sectoral actions, in particular: investing in environmentally friendly technologies and supporting industrial innovation; decarbonising the energy sector; making buildings more energy efficient; introducing cleaner, cheaper and healthier forms of private and public transport.
The New European Green Deal and its two pillars, i.e. using resources more efficiently by moving to a clean, closed-loop economy and tackling biodiversity loss and reducing pollution levels, is one of the European Union’s key development policies for the coming years. The European Commission’s strategic objective, together with the European Investment Bank, is to mobilise EUR 100 billion of investment for the energy transition between 2021 and 2027. Poland has comprehensively and completely identified the actions to be taken in order to achieve the status of a circular economy. These actions are in particular: renewable energy, change of fuel and redesign of supply chains, resource-efficient and energy-efficient products, eco-efficiency and eco-innovation of companies, a well-considered raw materials policy.
The energy transition towards green energy enjoys a very high level of support from the Polish public – 78% of Poles unequivocally recognise the very positive impact of renewable energy sources (RES) on environmental protection and the climate (this is the highest percentage among the countries of Central and Eastern Europe).
