E3G, a London-based climate change think tank, has published a briefing by Sandra Tzvetkova, Manon Dufour, Vincent Hurkens and Pepe Escrig examining what the European Parliament election results could mean for climate and energy policy in the 27-nation bloc.
This includes analysis on what the election outcome could mean for securing a fair “green industrial/competitiveness deal,” as well as the investment needed for the energy transition.
They write in the introduction:
The big takeaway from the European Parliament elections: the centre has held, but a trend in far-right gains continues. This means that Europe’s fight against climate change can go on but is faced with a trickier political landscape at a time when big decisions need to be taken. A fair and green industrial / competitiveness deal still looks within reach in the negotiations for the incoming European Commission. However, EU leaders will face a major test on securing enough financing to make it a reality.
“Opportunities and risks for climate action after the EU elections,” By Sandra Tzvetkova, Manon Dufour, Vincent Hurkens & Pepe Escrig, E3G, June 17, 2024.
