Europe’s economies are struggling under the burden of regulation, the cost of energy, and dependency on foreign powers and companies. At the heart of this are environmental policies, especially the package of policies that were the hallmark of Ursula von der Leyen’s first term: the Green Deal.
In response to criticism, the Green Deal has been repackaged as the Clean Industrial Deal. But does this go far enough to address the problems Europe faces? Europe’s problems are vast: from failing policies at home to pressures coming from abroad. External problems concern for example Europe’s dependency on critical raw materials and energy sources that it needs to import, while internally-generated problems include the inhibition of European enterprises by excessive regulation, misallocation of resources, and policies that increasingly drive companies away from Europe.
The roots of these problems are deep. This conference will address two areas fundamental to Europe’s success: energy and industry. We will examine both policy errors and potential solutions. How do we move beyond platitudes and seriously re-energise European economies?
Conference: Re-energise: economic growth beyond the Green Deal
- Panel 1: Europe’s economic reality and the impact of the Green Deal
