The European Commission's lead economic official doesn’t regret making climate change a centerpiece of its political agenda, attendees at the Brussels Economic Forum heard today (16 May). With a rising backlash against EU green policies, and polls predicting a swing to the right in upcoming EU elections, some worry if Brussels’ environmental agenda hangs in the balance. Europe has been beset by protests, led by farmers concerned about the impact of EU environmental rules on the agriculture sector – while the fate of the bloc’s Nature Restoration Law now seems uncertain. But officials are unrep...

In recent months, tractors have rolled through European cities as farmers protested against the EU’s agricultural policy. The EU's rapid response, which involved rolling back environmental regulations on agricultural subsidies, misses the mark. This approach is a superficial fix that fails to address the underlying problems: aggressive lobbying by extreme right groups manipulating the narrative and the misuse of EU agricultural funds by member states. A new WWF report highlights an uncomfortable truth amidst the growing cost-of-living crisis: EU member states allocate between €34 billion and €...

Europe is working at breakneck speed to achieve the 2030 climate goal to cut emissions by 55% and increase the share of renewable energy to as much as 45%. This week, in time for the second anniversary of REPowerEU, the European Commission published a package of guidelines to help EU countries identify where and how renewables will be deployed in support of the 2030 targets. The package, including detailed guidance for the designation of Renewable Acceleration Areas, as well as updated guidance on permitting and non-price criteria in auction design, comes at a critical time: Europe must go sma...

The German and Irish governments have secured the support of nine EU member states – including France and Spain – in a bid to rescue a law designed to reverse decades of drastic biodiversity loss across Europe. A vote on the Nature Restoration Law – whose text was agreed in quasi-formal talks with the Euro-pean Parliament, but which a blocking minority of governments subsequently refused to give the final rubber stamp – is expected during an EU Council summit of environment ministers on 17 June, the last such meeting under the current Belgian presidency. “The ongoing absence of a qualified maj...

The EU elections, due to be held between 6 June and 9 June this year, have already drawn a significant amount of attention, with several parties promising different regulations and facilities, especially for businesses. According to the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR), this year's elections could potentially swing to the right in several countries, because of an increase in the appeal of populist radical right parties. On the other side, green parties, and centre-left parties' sway could quickly decrease. The outcome of the EU elections could have a significant impact on trade pol...

If everyone in the world had consumed as much as EU residents have over the last four months, humanity would have exhausted the planet's natural resources available for the entire year this Friday. The EU accounts for only 7% of the world’s population and yet we would need three planets to satisfy our demand if everyone on Earth lived like Europeans. Our planet simply cannot afford Europe’s consumption habits. This is not only unsustainable, it is irresponsible. Despite the urgency, there is no clear plan in sight to reverse this trend. On the contrary, European Council President Charles Miche...

In an interview with Euronews on Thursday, the 36-year-old German - one of two lead candidates fielded by the European Greens for June's ballot - outlined her vision for upholding the embattled European Green Deal, the EU’s plan to become the first climate-neutral continent. In recent months, Reintke's Greens party has led criticism of the centre-right European People’s Party (EPP) - set to top the poll in June and remain the parliament’s biggest faction - for what they describe as attempts to water down the Green Deal in response to a wave of demonstrations among farmers. Farmers' protests le...

The Greens’ chief climate policy negotiator in the European Parliament has warned a shift to the right in the coming EU elections could put at risk five years’ worth of new legislative work to address the crisis of global temperature rise, while presenting his own group’s vision for a new Green Industrial Deal supported by a trillion-euro EU fund and preferential interest rates from the European Central Bank. A swing to the right and the re-appointment of incumbent European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen could see several hard-fought pieces of EU climate and energy legislation opene...

Improving competitiveness (better conditions for businesses), cutting bureaucracy, protecting jobs and supporting the green transition are just a few of the key pledges from the party groups ahead of the European Parliament elections taking place 6-9 June. Turning on the economic growth engine in the continent for the next five years appears to be a complicated task. The current output is little more than zero and the outlook for the next years appears to be stark, according to the IMF which states: "Europe's medium-term growth prospects have been declining for some time." The last five years ...
