Public opinion on whether the EU is making sure the green transition is fair 2022
The countries in the European Union with the greatest proportion of their citizens agreeing that the EU is doing enough to ensure that the transition to a green economy and energy system is fair are Malta, Cyprus, and Poland. On the other hand, France, Greece, and Germany have the greatest share of citizens responding that the EU is not doing enough.
The EU's premier climate policy at the current moment is the European Green Deal, a set of investment programs which seek to encourage economic activity through improving infrastructure and providing grants for private actors to create green technologies in Europe. In light of the United States' more extensive green stimulus package, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), however, many commentators have begun to view the EU's plans as being insufficient to manage a fair, equitable, and effective transition to a green economy and society.
