The European Union has moved into uncontested global leadership in its ambitious goals to green its economy. No one is better equipped than Nathalie Tocci to analyze in a balanced manner how the actions required will present both opportunities and challenges, a reality that is admirably assessed in this highly informative book. Robert N. Stavins, A. J. Meyer Professor of Energy & Economic Development, Harvard Kennedy School Nathalie Tocci's book is an extraordinary journey into the European Union vision and mission to become the global leader of the green agenda. Nathalie explores in a fascinating way the links between the Green Deal, domestic European dynamics, and the regional and worldwide geopolitical implications of today and tomorrow. It couldn't be more timely, as it analyses the different ways in which the strategic autonomy of the European Union is intertwined with its green agenda and its energy transition. A precious contribution to the definition of a new horizon for our continent's mission! Federica Mogherini, Rector of the College of Europe and Former High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Nathalie Tocci unpacks the complex policy dilemmas facing Europe in its quest for climate leadership. Her invaluable guide to the democratic, foreign policy and geo-political challenges of the energy transition shows the all-of-government approach that the EU needs to take to succeed in its great leap forward in integration through the European Green Deal. Heather Grabbe, Director, Open Society Policy Institute A Green and Global Europe offers a concise, up-to-date, authoritative and clearly written account of the trajectory of Europe's energy and climate policies, also shedding light on the social, economic and political prerequisites for their sustainability and success. Importantly, it also provides a compelling analysis of the multiple ways in which these policies will reverberate across Europe's troubled neighbourhood. General readers will obtain from this book a great overview of the European energy and climate policy architecture, while energy and climate specialists will gain new insights on the crucial, but still underexplored, social and political dimensions of this historical transformation. Simone Tagliapietra, Bruegel, the Catholic University of Milan, and the Johns Hopkins University SAIS Europe The ecological challenge will be one of the most enduring and defining issues of the 21st century. In this timely book, Nathalie Tocci makes a compelling case for the EU to be decidedly green and global in confronting this challenge. Alexandros Yannis, senior official, European External Action Service (EEAS) Nathalie Tocci's deeply informed and compelling book makes an eloquent argument that for the EU's 'green' policies to succeed they must also be incorporated and mainstreamed into its external relations. It's a must read for all. Karen Smith, LSE This is a powerful book from one of Europe's most experienced analysts, rich with practical insights and a call to arms for the EU's future development. An essential read for those looking to map out how the EU can engage with both its internal and external challenges. Simon Usherwood, The Open University
