In this episode, we explore the intricacies of the European Green Deal, a sweeping strategy introduced by the EU in 2019 to confront the ecological crisis head-on. Pledged to enhance citizen well-being, promote clean energy, and safeguard biodiversity, the Green Deal sets ambitious goals to slash greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030 and achieve climate neutrality by 2050. However, amidst accolades dubbing it Europe's 'man on the moon' moment, criticisms abound, questioning its ability to instigate true systemic change.

Join us as we dissect the Green Deal's key elements, evaluate its progress, and probe whether it's fulfilling its transformative potential. Our guest, Martijn Pakker from the Institute for European Environmental Policy, provides invaluable insights into the Green Deal's impact and identifies areas warranting improvement.

The Institute for European Environmental Policy is an independent, not-for-profit policy studies institute and green think tank which analyses and develops environmental policy in Europe and beyond.
