Exploring the Green Deal: Europe’s ‘Man on the Moon’ by 2050

The purpose of this outlook is to summarise and explore the central tenants of an ambitious, signature, and transformative set of initiatives compiled by the European Commission and known collectively as the ‘Green Deal’.

The purpose of this outlook is to summarise and explore the central tenants of an ambitious, signature, and transformative set of initiatives compiled by the European Commission and known collectively as the ‘Green Deal’. The aim is to introduce breadth and depth of the plan to the reader and outline any major challenges and counter-critiques that have emerged thus far. Though the Covid-19 pandemic has given the world a sense of what a global crisis looks like, raising comparisons with the potentially far more consequential threat of global climate change that the Green Deal seeks to mitigate, the far-reaching details and implications of the European Union’s (EU) Green Deal still make it a worthwhile endeavour to examine.
