Green Deal
Environmental policy package
A Green Deal is a policy framework linking economic investment to environmental goals, especially climate action.
The term gained prominence with the European Green Deal (2019) and proposals for a Green New Deal in the United States, echoing FDR's New Deal while prioritizing renewable energy, emissions reduction, and sustainable infrastructure: The Green Deal promises millions of jobs in clean energy.
