Tufts European Horizons: The European Green New Deal: The Solution for a Sustainable Future?

Tufts European Horizons will host a panel on the European Green New Deal. During her confirmation hearing by the European Parliament, incoming European Commission President Ursula Von Der Leyen promised to put in a place a “European Green New Deal” within her first 100 days in office. This promise helped her narrowly obtain confirmation with the support of Green and Socialist members of parliament. This plan seeks to implement many of the same ideas put forward by the Green New Deal in the US Congress.
