Climate, Trade and Industrial Policy: What Strategy for the European Union?
Practical information
A "Les Jeudis de l'Ifri" videoconférence around Carole MATHIEU, Head of EU Policies, Center for Energy & Climate.
The Green Deal project carries the promise of a carbon neutral Europe but also of a prosperous Europe, that would control the value chains of the carbon-free economy and make its imports subject to climatic requirements as strict as those applied to domestic production. Further to the publication of the July 2021 "Climate Package", is Europe on the path to alignment between its climate objectives and its industrial interests? What are the risks of fueling international tensions a few weeks before COP26?
Chair : Thomas Gomart, director of Ifri.
This debate is for corporate members only. It will be conducted in French.
