From reversing a ban on petrol and diesel cars to lifting protection for wolves, the EPP’s environment spokesperson Peter Liese has outlined what the centre-right party hopes to achieve in the next five years. The German Christian Democrat, a former medical doctor and an MEP since 1994, said he is confident of being re-appointed as the group’s environment spokesperson tomorrow (4 july), when the EPP plans to adopt its policy agenda for the coming parliament term. Leaks earlier this week suggest the group wants to pause or even reverse aspects of the EU Green Deal, the flagship policy agenda of...

Relief tempered with caution has been the response from Brussels-based campaigners to last night's agreement on the EU’s five-year strategic agenda and its recognition of a triple environmental crisis, with some concerned by the possible impact of an overarching commitment to boosting Europe’s competitiveness and industrial base. “Our natural environment is facing increasing damage and disruption due to climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution,” heads of government acknowledged near the top of the document, which is intended to inform the policy making of the new European Commission set...

Nature restoration, water protection and boosting renewables are likely to remain among the political priorities of the EU's next institutional cycle, according to a leaked Strategic Agenda, seen by Euronews, a high-level EU guiding policy document set to be agreed during a summit of EU leaders starting today (27 June) in Brussels. Previous leaks of the EU leaders’ guiding policy document suggested references to climate action had been all but erased, pointing to a U-turn to the European Green Deal’s main goals, but the latest draft document seen by Euronews pledges to “continue protecting nat...

As the dust starts to settle on the EU elections, there is no doubt that the political dial has shifted towards the right — but there is still a glimmer of hope that we can continue the important work from the last few years. What voters are calling for is stability and certainty. As business leaders, we are committed to supporting the implementation of an improved Green Deal. This deal remains the key tool to ensure Europe’s competitiveness and resilience on the world stage, and European decision-makers must capitalise on that rather than allow it to fall by the wayside. The European Green De...

EURONEWS: You’re joining the Greens at a time when they’ve just taken a bit of a battering, losing 18 of 71 seats. Do you see this as a worrying sign of falling public support for climate and environmental action, and the end of the Green Wave we saw in 2019, or is the doom mongering exaggerated or overblown? VS: I think it's very much exaggerated. If you look at the quality of the group, especially, we have a lot of very strong politicians, [some of them] former ministers. And I'm pretty sure that the Greens can be a valuable part of the pro-European coalition. I hope that's going to happen. ...

With a right-leaning new European Parliament emerging after EU elections preceded by thorny diplomatic discussions among member states on key environmental policy files, speculation mounts as to the future of the European Green Deal, the von der Leyen Commission’s ambitious programme to reach carbon-neutrality by 2050 and reverse biodiversity loss. Conservatives and the far-right, political groups that have been either sceptical or outright hostile to the Green Deal, have gained seats in many countries, to the detriment of the liberal Renew group and, in particular, the Greens – a new status q...

Days after the EPP emerged as the biggest party in the European elections - paving the way for its lead candidate Ursula von der Leyen to have a first shot at securing a second term at the Commission's helm - Filibeck said she will not be able rely on the centre-left's backing if she continues to open up to radical right-wing...

Recent months have seen a backlash - or ‘greenlash’ - against the European Green Deal, the main policy of the European Commission under President Ursula von der Leyen: the most visible of these being the farming protests that blocked the border between Spain and France. And with voters heading to the polls this week to vote for a new European Parliament, surveys indicate increased support for politicians who want to weaken these policies, lower climate goals, or ignore environmental actions altogether.
