Europolis: The Global Europe Podcast by ECDPM

The steel sector alone accounts for roughly 7% of global carbon dioxide emissions. If the world is serious about hitting climate targets, emissions from this heavy industry must fall by at least 50% by 2050. But the path forward is as much about geopolitics and trade as it is about technology.

In this episode of Europolis: The Global Europe Podcast, host Poora Karkare sits down with international trade lawyer and Tulip Consulting director Colette van der Ven to explore why the roadmap to green steel runs directly through India—and why the EU's current regulatory approach might be missing the bigger picture.

Five weeks after the United States and Israel began their unilateral bombardment of Iran – with Israel also resuming aerial attacks on Lebanon – the conflict is already reshaping Europe’s external environment.
