This study takes stock of how Southern Mediterranean Countries are moving towards green economy models in strategy and implementation.
What are the context-specific opportunities, challenges, risks and tradeoffs involved in green economy transitions in the region – and what role can the European Union (EU) play in managing them? How palpable is the promise of economic development that is socially inclusive and environmentally sustainable – and how can the EU’s “green deal diplomacy” itself be equal, inclusive and productive?
The study addresses these questions through four individual contributions, each on a specific domain related to the green economy (green industrial development, circular economy, renewable energy, urban eco-innovation).
