Our CESET partner Vanesa Cast谩n Broto has written a chapter entitled 鈥淭he European Green Deal and the challenge of systemic change in urban areas鈥 in the new book 鈥淭owards a European Green Deal with Cities鈥 published by CIDOB.
Vanesa鈥檚 chapter explores how the COVID-19 pandemic has created challenges in the local delivery of the European Green Deal (EGD) goals in a context of uncertain urban change. The chapter focuses on one of the EGD鈥檚 key objectives: delivering a clean energy transition. The first section is about the energy transition envisaged in the EGD. The second section questions the dominant ideas of change and how they fit the problem of transition. The third section warns against the inequalities created by green policies. The chapter concludes with a reflection on the unfinished nature of the EGD.
