#16: How clean is your Deal? EU climate policy after the 2024 elections
Description
The 2024 European elections announced the start of a new European
policy cycle, as not only a new European Parliament was elected but also a new
European Commission term started. On the heels of far-right successes in EU
Member States elections, citizens elected a more rightwing European Parliament.
Furthermore, even though von der Leyen will stay on as Commission President,
changes in her Commission structure and political guidelines could indicate a
move away from climate change as the top priority.
Jeff Rosamond, a postdoctoral researcher at Ghent University, joins
us for this episode to help us understand the elections and their possible
impact on climate policy.
This will be the final episode (for now). To stay up to date on
further developments, you can follow the host Jana Gheuens on Bluesky or Linkedin,
