Bruselas reabre el debate de los eurobonos para la emergencia climática
Tras un verano de pesadilla, la vicepresidenta Ribera plantea reactivar la agenda verde en el arranque del curso político: emitir deuda común y un impuesto europeo a las petroleras
Brussels is reopening the debate on eurobonds to address the climate emergency, following extreme weather conditions that have forced hundreds of thousands of people to evacuate their homes. From wildfires in Stockholm to melting Arctic ice in Helsinki, to drought-stricken pastures in Algeciras, the climate crisis has left a trail of devastation across Europe.
In a stark contrast to the continent's response to past financial and geopolitical crises, Europeans are now partying on the dried-up beds of the Danube and Rhine rivers, revealing the wreckage of ships from world wars. European Commission Vice-President Teresa Ribera is set to propose a bold green agenda in the coming days, reviving a two-year dormant dream.
Ribera will put forward two ambitious options: the issuance of common debt to fund investments and a tax on oil companies.
