Podcast interview with think tank Europa: Is there a risk that the energy crisis derails the European Union's green transition?

In this podcast [25 min], Insightview has interviewed chief analyst Anders Christian Overvad from the Danish think tank, EUROPA. Through evidence-based inquiry, EUROPA aims to substantiate and improve the foundation on which policy decisions with a bearing on Denmark’s position in Europe are being made – irrespective of political ideology.

Today, Brussels is discussing how to respond to the ongoing energy crisis. In a few weeks, world leaders will meet in Glasgow to discuss the next step in the green transition. This raises the question, what is the current status of the green transition? Insightview asks Anders Christian Overvad, who is currently researching the green transitions and the European energy sector, whether the energy crisis could derail the European Union's green transition?
