The EU Green Deal in Turbulent Times: Insights from the EU Green Policy Tracker from Sweden and Estonia

The European Green Deal (EGD), launched in 2019, is the EU’s flagship strategy to achieve climate neutrality by 2050 while fostering a fairer, more sustainable economy.

Initial findings show that national governments face significant challenges, including high workloads, and fast-changing policies are stretching government capacities.
