The recent European Parliament elections saw a significant decline in the Green party's representation, signaling a shift in European voters' priorities. While the EU has been a leader in climate change action, concerns over the war in Ukraine, economic instability, and immigration have overshadowed environmental issues. The Greens' failure to adapt their identity and address broader societal concerns, coupled with a backlash against climate policies, contributed to their electoral setback. However, there are pockets of success for the Greens in certain European regions, and collaboration with social democratic parties could offer a path forward. Despite fears that the European Union Green Deal may suffer, experts argue that its policies are already in place, but a loss of momentum could lead to procrastination and dilution. To prevent this, joint investment in the green transition and protection of vulnerable communities is crucial to ensure the transformation does not exacerbate inequality.
