Internationalising the Green New Deal: Strategies for Pan-European Coordination

Summary

The Green New Deal can form the basis of a new relationship between Europe and the UK. Through multi-level institutional coordination, an internationally-minded Green New Deal can address deep-set regional issues, support the development of green technology, and work towards decolonialising international relations.

The report offers a series of recommendations for Green New Deal policy, including:

• Increased coordination between the UK and European central banks
• The establishment of Green Common Bonds
• The development of a Green Energy Union between the UK and Europe
• A “Green Horizon 2050” public research and development program for green innovation
• An Environmental Solidarity Network to create durable structures for cooperation between regions, cities and communities
