Later today, EU Climate Commissioner Wopke Hoekstra will host a second meeting on the crisis in Europe’s car industry, driven in part by strict new limits on carbon emissions for new cars.
Where is the balance between making the car sector more environmentally friendly, respecting the EU’s targets, and maintaining a profitable business?
Radio Schuman speaks with Julia Poliscanova, who leads work on electric vehicles at the green group Transport & Environment in Brussels.
Today, EU Climate Commissioner Hoekstra will lead the “Clean Transition and Decarbonisation” Working Group as part of the Strategic Dialogue on the Future of the Automotive Industry, an initiative launched by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen at the end of January.
He’ll engage with key European industry leaders, social partners, and stakeholders to tackle one of the sector’s most urgent challenges: the shift to clean mobility. Poliscanova will participate in this meeting and shared thoughts from an environmentalist perspective with Radio Schuman in advance.
We also talk about an important meeting in Brussels between Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and EU leaders, as well as the best destinations for digital nomads for 2025.
Today’s Radio Schuman is hosted by Robert Hodgson and produced by the journalist Eleonora Vasques. Audio editing by David Brodheim and music by Alexandre Jas.
