European Union climate challenges addressed in new podcast series

The podcast ‘Giù le mani dall’Europa’, hosted by journalist Massimo Gaudina and EU law professor Vincenzo Salvatore, has launched its second season focusing on the climate emergency facing the European Union.

Following a summer of record heat across the continent, the discussion emphasizes the urgent need for coordinated European interventions to combat global warming. The hosts highlight that climate change impacts more than just the environment, affecting public health, agriculture, and various economic sectors.

A central theme is the European Green Deal, with the hosts exploring how to balance the acceleration of environmental protection with an ecological transition that remains economically and socially sustainable. They argue that individual state policies may lack effectiveness without shared objectives and unified European coordination.
