“The European Green Deal is a peace project”

Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine is a humanitarian catastrophe, a denial of state sovereignty, and an explicit assault on European values. It further undermines the EU’s decarbonisation goals, all while highlighting its imperative. While European leaders face critical choices in consequence, they must not let a war effort define what is ultimately a project of peace, and a bulwark of stability for the geopolitical order.
