The geopolitical repercussions of the European Green Deal

The European Green Deal is a plan to decarbonise the EU economy
by 2050, revolutionise the EU’s energy system, profoundly
transform the economy and inspire efforts to combat climate
change. But the plan will also have profound geopolitical
repercussions and is likely to impact partner countries
adversely. In the latest paper co-written by Bruegel and the
European Council on Foreign Relations, the authors map out the
geopolitical implications and lay out a foreign policy agenda to
manage the geopolitical aspects of the European Green Deal and
lead climate change efforts globally. In this episode of The
Sound of Economics, co-authors Jeremy Shapiro of the European
Council on Foreign Relations, as well as Jean Pisani Ferry,
Simone Tagliapietra and Guntram Wolff of Bruegel introduce their
paper and give their insight on this issue.
