Event Highlights: A Green & Global Europe
This lecture by Dr. Nathalie Tocci, Director of the Istituto Affari Internazionali and Honorary Professor at the University of Tübingen, marks the first in a series of lectures hosted by the Jean Monnet Chair in European Security and Defense on the theme of “Europe in the World.” Tocci addresses the Russian invasion of Ukraine and its implications on Europe (politically, militarily, economically, and also in terms of migration). She then zooms in on energy, which is a main dimension of the war. Finally, she loop back to her book project – A Green and Global Europe – and how to reconcile the urgency of energy security with the EU’s strategic goal of decarbonization.
