Operationalising the external dimension of the European Green Deal

30 November, 2021

Asserting its international role and enhancing climate action are critical to the foreign affairs of the European Union (EU). This should make the external dimension of the European Green Deal (EGD) the linchpin of the “geopolitical Commission” and the Union at large. This one-page summary provides an overview of the workshop for policy makers adelphi conducted in collaboration with the European Council on Foreign Relations on 30 November 2021.

In two steps, the event aimed to take operationalisation of the EGD further and advance the community of practice. Participants explored what action policy makers already pursue and the needs that they still see. Based on this, the group discussed specific entry points in the second part of the workshop.
