How can the EU Green Deal adapt to a brutal world? Ifri's Center for Energy & Climate Breakfast-Debate in Brussels

The Green Deal faces challenges amid worsening geopolitics, regional conflicts, and power politics overshadowing the rules-based system. Free trade exists only on paper, hindered by global restrictions. All sorts of hardships overshadow the Green Deal ambition. If renouncement is not an option in an era of the accelerating consequences of climate change, a strategic repositioning of the Green Deal needs to take place to cope with a brutal world.
