Since the 1970s, climate change has become a global problem. All the world's developed countries are starting to pay attention to it and environmental pollution, all for the purpose of sustainable development for future generations. The European Union has established strict goals that need to be achieved to fight against the abovementioned climate change through the years. One of the essential parts of the fight against climate change is environmental protection, which is the sum of investment expenditures and current expenditures for environmental activities. This paper examines the European Union as the global leader in environmental protection. Furthermore, the European Union established an efficient environmental policy, and success is measured by resources spent on environmental protection. Also, this paper analyzes expenditures on environmental protection in the EU in the period from 2011 to 2018. Eurostat provided the data for the observed time, and it includes all the current EU Member States. The changes in expenditures on environmental protection are compared to total national spending. France can stand out as a member of the European Union that allocates the most resources for environmental protection, while Cyprus allocates the least. As can be seen from the research results, the countries of the European Union have been spending more on environmental protection since 2012. It is also evident that individual human habits are changing in the direction of environmental protection. |
