The next session of our GEG Weekly seminar will be held during Sciences Po Paris’ Nuit de l’Europe, on the 4th of April. 

According to recent polls, the upcoming European elections in June are expected to result in a shift to the right in the EU Parliament. Centre-left and Green parties across the continent are expected to lose a significant share of votes, compared to 2019. If this is confirmed, it could seriously undermine the Green Deal, which aims to make the EU climate-neutral by 2050. Until now, EU member states have been characterized by the absence of a political offer based on climate skepticism. How is this new cleavage structuring in the lead-up to the European elections ? What is the future of the Green Deal ?
