S2: European Union - Green Deal Part 1/3
Update: 2020-09-11
Description
(now correct upload) Union’s Green Deal was announced by Ursula von der Leyen back in 2019 and voted in by the European Parliament in January of this year. In this first of three episodes, Rich and Carola touch on the politics of getting to this point and explore three policy areas of the deal: Clean Energy; Farm to Fork; and Biodiversity. Time to get foxy. Who is the pain-in-the-butt nation that the EU is glad to see the back off? And will there be a time again where we can fly without guilt?
This deal covers 9 policy areas, and in this episode we will cover
- Clean Energy
- Farm to Fork
- Biodiversity
And in the next episodes we will cover
- Eliminating Pollution
- Sustainable Agriculture
- Sustainable Industry
- Building and Renovation
- Sustainable mobility
- Climate action
