This week s edition of Real Economy focuses on going green, and more specifically, on Europe’s Green Deal and what that could mean for our jobs and the economy.
The EU has pledged to go carbon-neutral by 2050. But with the pandemic and its economic fallout, how do you tackle unemployment and climate change at the same time?
This is where the EU s ambitious Green Deal initiative really comes into play. Its goal is to make Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050.

One of its key missions is to boost the efficient use of resources, minimise waste and cut greenhouse gas net emissions to zero.
