The ‘Fit-for-55’ Package: A Giant Leap for the European Economy? Ifri Green Deal Virtual Lunch Series

This complete overhaul of climate legislation will reshape the European economy at high speed, with far-reaching implications for all individuals, all sectors, and all trading partners.

To complete the negotiation journey, EU legislators will have to ensure fairness and cost-efficiency by striking the right balance between carbon pricing, standardization and facilitating measures. In this context, how should the Commission’s proposals be adjusted? Which trade-offs can be envisaged to bridge political and national divides? In the end, how to ensure that the EU now delivers on the Green Deal’s promise of a climate-neutral and prosperous economy?
