#ClimateEnergySummit #EUClimatePact #COP26

In the beginning of the year, the EU’s answer to the economic impact of COVID-19 came into force. A total of €1.8tn will help rebuild Europe over the next years. To respond to the EU’s climate ambitions, a minimum of 30% of expenditure needs to be geared towards fighting climate change – but public money alone won’t cut it. To implement the Paris Agreement, Europe needs between €175bn to €290bn in extra investment per year over the next decades.

The transition to a climate-neutral Europe requires serious efforts from the private sector. Many companies are stepping up to the plate and redirecting capital towards sustainable investments. By way of its EU Taxonomy – a classification system establishing a list of environmentally sustainable economic activities – the EU hopes to shift private investments. As EU countries implement their recovery plans and sustainable finance takes hold in the private sector, the question remains whether this constitutes the rapid shift Europe needs to green its economy.

To what degree are national recovery plans contributing to the European Green Deal?
What are the barriers to greater investment in proven low-cost renewables, such as solar panels and wind energy?
Are investors actively promoting the energy transition? What impact can they have?
