It appears to be the most ambitious vision of any government to date to address the climate crisis. Von der Leyen promised to present the European Green Deal within the first 100 days of her mandate. Here’s what’s in the European Green Deal, and what isn’t.Much of the plan in the Green Deal right now is a plan to have a plan. Climate change and environmental degradation are an existential threat to Europe and the world. Combined, these countries make up the world’s largest economic bloc, and rank third behind China and the United States in contributions to climate change. “And therefore a crucial part of the European Green Deal is the just transition mechanism.” The mechanism would mobilize 100 billion euros “precisely targeted to the most vulnerable regions and sectors” during the transition. The proposal calls for establishing the EU’s first-ever climate law, one that would anchor the 2050 climate neutrality target and make the progress toward it irreversible in law, should another commission change its mind.
