Summary/Abstract: The European Green Deal (EGD) is the basis of a comprehensive strategic package (European Green Deal Strategic Framework, EGDSF), which aims to transform the EU into a climate-neutral and competitive economy by 2050. The main aim of the author’s research is to systematize knowledge about the European Green Deal. Therefore, the paper discusses the origins, assumptions and sources of funding for the EGDSF, as well as the possible consequences of the adopted solutions for Poland. In order to systematize information on EGD, the author used a literature review method, based on reliable databases found in international scientific publications. The paper stresses that the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia’s aggression against Ukraine have forced EU member states to intensify their efforts to achieve climate and resource neutrality in Europe. This can be done, for example, by adopting fast-track solutions within the “Fit for 55” package. These solutions should be seen as a unique opportunity for Poland to transform its economy into a green one.
