La transition bas-carbone de l’Union européenne : un impact limité mais un risque systémique élevé
The European Union aims at carbon neutrality by 2050. This goal, which would have a relatively small impact at the world scale, may still have strong socio-economic effects for the member states. The EU has no competence in the taxation and social fields and therefore it can devise a ecological and...

| description | The European Union aims at carbon neutrality by 2050. This goal, which would have a relatively small impact at the world scale, may still have strong socio-economic effects for the member states. The EU has no competence in the taxation and social fields and therefore it can devise a ecological and socially integrating transition strategy. However, the EU takes the risk of a socio-territorial disruption. The more the UE wants to go fast in the climate change struggle, the more it reveals imbalances of its governance system, threatening its own cohesion. In France, the “Yellow Jackets”’s protest movement underlines the wide spread between a low-carbon national roadmap and territorial realities for people who cannot afford a quick, uncompensated, increase of the domestic tax on gas and energetic products. Eventually, implementation of the “European Green Deal” questions the very future of the EU. |
