This week we take a closer look at the Green Transition in Europe - from the invaluable invertebrates in the soil beneath us, to the end of obsolete coal mines and the revolution in transport, our show investigates just how fast Europe is becoming greener - and how to ensure no-one is left behind in the race to decarbonise.
Ursula von der Leyen made the Green Transition one of the landmark measures of her term as president of the European Commission, vowing that the EU will be carbon neutral by 2050. To achieve that goal, almost every aspect of Europeans’ way of life will have to be revolutionised, from homes to jobs, food-production and farming to heavy industry and transport, the Europe that Brussels wants in the coming decades will face major upheaval.
