Against the backdrop of the upheavals between Europe and the USA, the EU and India also want to work more closely together in the future on climate and environmental policy. EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen’s visit to New Delhi last week focused primarily on trade issues. However, there was also much talk of a new Indo-European alliance for green restructuring. Whether this ambitious plan will succeed, however, remains to be seen. It would have to go hand in hand with more intensive trade between the two economic blocs and overcome traditionally very different attitudes to climate issues.
