Geopolityka a Zielony Ład dla Europy

The author contends that the European Green Deal should not be treated as a separate environmental policy but as a geopolitical tool. By diversifying its economy and leading in clean technologies, the EU can reduce its vulnerability to pressure from the US and China and decrease its reliance on fossil fuel imports from authoritarian regimes. The text emphasizes that the transition must also address the stability of oil-dependent regions in the Middle East and North Africa and prevent internal EU divisions between East and West to avoid external interference.

• The European Green Deal aims for the European Union to achieve climate neutrality by the year 2050, representing a strategy for the EU's economic development.
• The EU is currently vulnerable to geopolitical pressure from the US and China due to its reliance on export surpluses, which can be used as leverage in diplomatic or trade disputes, such as the 5G rollout or the Iran nuclear deal.
• Integrating the Green Deal into a geopolitical framework could allow the EU to reduce dependence on external actors and potentially transform the euro into a global currency through the promotion of green markets and green bonds.
• A transition to a system based entirely on renewable energy would decrease the political influence of Russia by ending the EU's dependence on imported oil and gas from authoritarian countries.
• The energy transition poses a risk of instability in the Middle East and North Africa, as state oil companies in countries like Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, and Qatar—where oil and gas provide over 60% of budget revenues—are unprepared for the shift to clean energy.
• To prevent internal fragmentation and external influence (specifically from China), the EU must provide significant financial support—comparable to the Marshall Plan—to member states in Central and Eastern Europe during their sustainable transition.
• The proposed carbon-border adjustment tax aims to create a level playing field for European companies globally, though it carries the risk of triggering trade wars and retaliatory actions.
