Green Industrialisation
Some decades ago the words green and industry would never fit into the same sentence of a political text in Europe. But today we live in a totally different environment and as the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, stated during the presentation of the Green Deal Industrial Plan “we have a once in a generation opportunity to show the way with speed, ambition and a sense of purpose to secure the EU's industrial lead in the fast-growing net-zero technology sector”
But is Europe up to the task? How EU member states and regions address this new challenge? What are the expectations from the industry and trade unions? How the European Industrial Plan compares to similar initiatives from the United States?
