Episode #23: How simple is your deal?
Weakening climate policy under von der Leyen II
In this episode, we take stock of one year of climate policy developments under von der Leyen II. What does the shift in priorities from a European Green Deal to a Clean Industrial Deal mean for climate legislation? How has the success of far-right parties in the European Parliament and in the EU member states impacted discussions on climate files?
Jeff Rosamond, a postdoctoral researcher at Ghent University, joins us for this episode to discuss these questions and more.

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.
