The Implementation of the European Green Deal (EGD) related to Green Economy Policy in the European Union 2020-2024

Abstract

ABSTRAK

Uni Eropa menghadapi berbagai permasalahan lingkungan seperti peningkatan
emisi gas rumah kaca, perubahan iklim, dan kerusakan ekosistem akibat model
pembangunan ekonomi yang masih bergantung pada energi fosil dan eksploitasi
sumber daya alam. Untuk mengatasi permasalahan tersebut, Uni Eropa
meluncurkan European Green Deal sebagai strategi pembangunan yang bertujuan
mencapai netralitas iklim pada tahun 2050 serta mendorong transformasi menuju
ekonomi hijau yang berkelanjutan.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis implementasi European Green Deal
dalam mendukung kebijakan Green Economy di Uni Eropa pada periode 2020–
2024. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode deskriptif
serta menggunakan data sekunder yang diperoleh melalui studi literatur dari buku,
jurnal ilmiah, laporan organisasi internasional, dan dokumen resmi Uni Eropa.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa implementasi European Green Deal
dilakukan melalui beberapa kebijakan utama, seperti transisi energi bersih,
pengembangan ekonomi sirkular, transportasi berkelanjutan, sistem pangan
berkelanjutan, perlindungan keanekaragaman hayati, serta mekanisme pembiayaan
transisi hijau. Kebijakan tersebut menunjukkan upaya Uni Eropa dalam
mengintegrasikan aspek lingkungan ke dalam pembangunan ekonomi guna
mewujudkan Green Economy, meskipun masih menghadapi tantangan seperti
ketergantungan sebagian negara anggota terhadap energi fosil dan kebutuhan
investasi yang besar untuk mendukung transisi hijau.

ABSTRACT
THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE EUROPEAN GREEN DEAL (EGD)
RELATED GREEN ECONOMY POLICIES IN THE EUROPEAN
UNION 2020–2024

The European Union faces various environmental challenges, including rising
greenhouse gas emissions, climate change, and ecosystem degradation caused by
economic development models that still rely heavily on fossil fuels and natural
resource exploitation. In response, the European Union introduced the European
Green Deal as a development strategy aimed at achieving climate neutrality by 2050
and promoting the transition toward a sustainable green economy.
This study aims to analyze the implementation of the European Green Deal in
supporting Green Economy policies in the European Union during the period 2020–
2024. The research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method and relies
on secondary data obtained from books, academic journals, reports from
international organizations, and official documents of the European Union.
The results show that the implementation of the European Green Deal is carried out
through several key policies, including clean energy transition, circular economy
development, sustainable transportation, sustainable food systems, biodiversity
protection, and green transition financing. These policies demonstrate the European
Union’s efforts to integrate environmental aspects into economic development to
achieve a Green Economy, although several challenges remain, such as the
dependence of some member states on fossil fuels and the large investment required
for the green transition.
