A green response to the crisis
Analysts who are dealing with the future of the EU climate policy are absolutely certain that its central role as laid out in the European Green Deal, will remain part and parcel of the anti-crisis measures. This message is coming from EU institutions and the majority of member states. There is no surprise here, especially that the existing instruments and legislation that compose the Green Deal are to a large extent a continuation of policies that have been implemented for years. During the previous year these ideas where pursued under the banner of an „energy union” and before that as part of not-so-spectacular political slogans, but rather specific regulatory measures. In practice the European Green Deal is a new „packaging” wrapped around a continuation of policies that have been implemented for a dozen years and supplemented with the 2050 climate neutrality goal, but even that aim is not new – writes Paweł Wróbel, CEO of Gate Brussels and contributor at BiznesAlert.pl.
