The Jolt: Climate and energy overshadowed in State of the EU address

11 September 2025

Elisabetta Cornago from the Centre for European Reform joins The Jolt to discuss what it revealed about upcoming climate and energy policy, as well as the global trends that overshadow these.

“On one hand, I think she's trying to make the case for a European industrial grand plan that covers both clean tech and digital. Those were the two sectors that she named checked the most. At the same time, I think she's also trying to hide, in a way, the decarbonisation credentials,” Elisabetta Cornago, assistant director at Centre for European Reform.
