Climate Action and Green Economy Opportunities in the EU-India Strategic Partnership
As the European Union and India prepare to update their strategic partnership in 2026, climate action and the green economy emerge as defining priorities. Both regions face rising climate vulnerabilities, but also share complementary strengths—India’s growing population and manufacturing capabilities alongside Europe’s advanced green technologies and policy frameworks. This policy brief explores how a focused agenda on clean mobility, renewable energy, circular economy, digital infrastructure, and climate adaptation could move the relationship beyond ambition to real-world action. It argues that pragmatic cooperation, anchored in investment, innovation, and resilient supply chains, can deliver transformative outcomes for both partners and set a benchmark for global climate collaboration.
This Policy Brief is part of Policy Brief Series on India-Europe Relations
