In the context of the Covid-19-induced political and economic crisis in Europe, it is crucial to align the European Green Deal (EGD) with the “Next generation EU” green recovery programme.

The study “Make the European Green Deal Real” by the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW Berlin) focusses on tightening the climate protection targets for 2030 as a condition for full decarbonisation in 2050, as well as on strengthening European cooperation.
