Ursula von der Leyen - EUROPE WILL STAY THE COURSE! GREEN ENERGY

The Clean Energy Transition and the Green New Deal are related but not the same. Let me break it down for you:

1. The Green New Deal
The Green New Deal is more of a framework or policy proposal aimed at addressing climate change while creating jobs. It originated in the U.S. but has inspired similar proposals worldwide. For example:

U.S.: A resolution was introduced in 2019 (but not formally enacted) emphasizing renewable energy, energy efficiency, and economic equality.
EU: The European Green Deal (a similar concept) was adopted by the European Union in 2020. It aims to make Europe climate-neutral by 2050 and includes funding for clean energy projects, energy-efficient buildings, and sustainable transport.
Key adopters of Green New Deal-style frameworks include:

European Union (via the European Green Deal)
The U.K. (Green Industrial Revolution plan)
South Korea (Green New Deal included in its pandemic recovery plan)
2. Clean Energy Transition
This is a broader, global movement focusing on reducing fossil fuel use and transitioning to renewable energy. It involves international agreements and initiatives like:

Paris Agreement (2015): Nearly 200 countries have signed this, committing to limit global warming to 1.5–2°C by transitioning to clean energy.
International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA): Countries worldwide participate to support renewable energy initiatives.
Breakthrough Agenda (2021): Signed at COP26, over 40 countries, including the U.S., China, India, and the EU, pledged to accelerate the clean energy transition by 2030.
Overlap
While they both aim to address climate change through clean energy, the Green New Deal is often more focused on social and economic justice alongside sustainability. In contrast, the Clean Energy Transition is more technical, aiming at the global shift from fossil fuels to renewables.

Many individuals aspire to advance too quickly, leading to confusion or apprehension. Ultimately, the extent of one's understanding is contingent upon their level of awareness and their willingness to explore, accept, and arrive at their own insights and conclusions.
