Episode 27: Politicising technical policymaking:
Delegated and implementing acts in EU climate governance
In our 3rd season of How Green Is Your Deal?, we explore not only which decisions are made but also who makes them.
Delegated and implementing acts form a crucial but often overlooked aspect of EU climate policymaking. These technical measures play an important role in ensuring efficiency in climate governance, but they also raise important questions concerning accountability if they become more political in nature.
Jeff Rosamund and Brendan Moore join us today to shed light on these more hidden measures, their use by policymakers and their impact on the quality of EU democracy.
This season is produced in collaboration with RETOOL, a HORIZON EUROPE project aiming to advance our understanding of how to address the twin challenges of responding to the climate imperative while strengthening and reinvigorating democratic governance.

About the podcast series
The von der Leyen I Commission set out to put the EU on a pathway toward a sustainable, low-carbon future with the launch of the European Green Deal. However, the Green Deal quickly found itself in rough waters as the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine risked derailing it all.
To help you understand what the EU aimed at doing in the European Green Deal, how it is impacted by changing times, and what we can expect from the second von der Leyen Commission, GreenDeal-NET created a How Green Deal? In 20- to 30-minute episodes, host and researcher Jana Gheuens talks with leading climate experts about their views on the EU's climate transition. Topics include everything from carbon pricing, the role of climate activism and NGOs, to how to integrate climate action in all the EU’s policy measures.
