Joint analysis of cross-cutting issues and final considerations

Abstract

This chapter concludes the book with a cross-cutting analysis, briefly highlighting the weaknesses of the current global environmental protection systems and focusing on how the European Union (EU) has sought to strengthen the international impact of its regulatory power within the framework provided by the European Green Deal (EGD). The chapter evaluates the degree of ambition of the main EGD initiatives with external dimensions analysed throughout the book and also notes their limitations. It ends with some reflections on the need to promote a multilaterally agreed Global Green Deal.
