The upheaval in US monetary and climate policy has opened a strategic window for Europe. With its leadership in sustainable finance, regulatory clarity and the European Central Bank’s integration of climate considerations, the EU is well placed to position the euro as the world’s leading green currency. Global demand for euro-denominated green debt and environmental, social and governance (ESG) investments is already rising. A new Böll EU Brief by Agnieszka Smoleńska & Jens van ‘t Klooster examines how ‘green internationalisation’ could strengthen Europe’s strategic autonomy, reduce vulnerability to external shocks and anchor global clean-energy finance. It sets out a practical roadmap for EU policy-makers to align ambition with action and seize this ‘euro moment’: https://eu.boell.org/en/green-euro-rising The upheaval in US monetary and climate policy has opened a strategic window for Europe.

With the Multi-Annual Financial Framework (MFF), the European Union defines its long-term budget – and with it, its political priorities for the years to come. In July 2025, the European Commission published its proposal for the MFF 2028-2034, and long and protracted negotiations will follow. Policy makers now have the opportunity to scale up ambi­tion and deliver on climate, social, economic and security objectives. With this web dossier, we want to give an overview over the different topics EU policy makers will need to address, and give space for commentary and analysis on the MFF: https://eu.boell.org/en/new-MFF Photo credits: Heimann + Schwantes, All rights reserved
