European Union
The European Green Deal purpose is to respond to climate change by achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions from the European Union by 2050. Current policies will achieve only 60% reductions by 2050 from 1990 levels, indicating the need for increased ambition. Additionally, the deal aspires to “protect the health and well-being of citizens from environment-related risks and impacts” and establish a toxic-free environment, deliver healthy and sustainable diets, and protect biodiversity.

Iceland
Iceland has been looking for new ways to be carbon neutral. One step they are taking is using the model "UniSyD_IS" . With this model, it can show possible transition paths toward a low-carbon future in Iceland and implications for fuel demand and associated costs. The impact of climate policies on transitions to a low-carbon transport is assessed, and effective policies to achieve deep cuts in GHG emissions are identified.
