slide1. Re-energising Europe’s global green reach Bruegel Event

slide2. Agenda Why the EU needs a clear global reach strategy
Shifting drivers of EU green external action
The current toolkit
Main shortcomings of the current toolkit
Way forward: policy recommendations<br>
slide3. The time for EU green external action is now Shrinking Remaining Carbon Budget: 200 Gt CO2 in 2024 vs. 500 Gt in 2020 (Forster et al, 2024)
EU’s annual emissions: 7% of global total, leading by example is not enough.

slide7. Increasing demand for new resources Source: : Bruegel on Carrara et al (2023). EU demand for some of the most used raw materials, including copper, silicon metal, nickel, manganese and lithium, is expected to increase elevenfold by 2050
The main question will be how to prioritise collaboration with which countries<br>
slide8. Plus, competitiveness and strategic autonomy The EU could set a strategy to import more intermediate energy-intensive products while focusing on higher value-added goods
Reduce costs of energy-intensive goods
Offer an industrialisation pathway for EMDEs seeking to move up the supply chain

slide9. The current EU green global reach toolkit International commitments, e.g. The Paris Agreement
Bilateral partnerships, e.g.
energy, green and critical raw materials partnerships
Climate finance
€28.4 billion allocated, €11.9 billion mobilised from the private sector. Source: : Bruegel based on European Environment Agency.<br>
slide10. Main shortcomings of the current toolkit Fragmentation of the current architecture
Multiple DGs with coordination difficulties
A compartmentalized approach
TEIs Implementation deficiencies
Skepticism and resistance in third countries
Backlash to EU green policies in third countries
Actual impact of EU financial flows for climate adaptation and mitigation has yet to be assessed<br>
slide11. Way forward: policy recommendations Focus on delivery, e.g. Monitoring and impact assessment
Step up ambitions, e.g. New carbon pricing and international green-taxation diplomacy.
Enhance cohesiveness, e.g.
Streamline green industrialisation partnerships
New international trade and climate deal.
Effective leadership, e.g. Stronger EU governance.<br>
