The European Union is currently finalizing the details of its European Green Deal, an effort to transform the 27-nation bloc into a low-carbon economy. The EU aspires to achieve net-zero carbon emissions and eliminate pollution by 2050 while also creating new jobs in a new clean-energy economy. Is this a model for the rest of the world or a large-scale exercise in greenwashing?

• Ann Pettifor: director of Policy Research in Macroeconomics
  What the European Green Deal Gets Right
• Dusan Pajovic, coordinator of Green New Deal for Europe, DiEM25

• Asad Rehman, executive director of War on Want
