The announcement of the European Green Deal was Europe’s “man on the moon” moment and– until recently– a priority for the EU in their growth strategy before COVID-19 struck. Where does this ambitious commitment stand today in the midst of our global pandemic? Will we still see Europe making its way to the moon?
