The European Green Deal Tracker

The European Green Deal, once hailed as the EU’s visionary strategy towards climate neutrality by 2050, is often presented in a difficult position today. From Russia’s war against Ukraine and the energy crisis to trade tensions with the US, the European and international contexts have much changed since the launch of the EGD in 2019. Finding a commonly accepted and just pathway toward the EGD targets is proving increasingly difficult amid geopolitical tensions, the rise of populism and disinformation, and increasing inequalities. 

Through the European Green Deal Tracker, FEPS and FES aim to assess the implementation progress of the EGD at the national level through an indicator-based index and case studies. The EGD Tracker analyses National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs) to provide an overview of member states’ progress across 16 key dimensions, including emission reduction, renewable energy, energy efficicency, and social justice. 

In this event, we will present the final publication of the project and discuss how the implementation of the EGD differs from member state to member state, depending on political will and socio-economic contexts. By assessing these differences and the level of progress towards the EGD objectives, we aim to understand how to enhance national policies and where efforts should focus. The event will also provide the opportunity for a larger reflection on the European Green Deal and the EU’s commitment towards just climate policies.
