<p>Governments in Europe and the USA want the recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic to be the springboard for environmentally and socially progressive policies. The EU has proposed the &lsquo;European Green Deal&rsquo; and &lsquo;Fit for 55&rsquo;, while the administration of President Biden has put forward a &lsquo;Green New Deal&rsquo; and the strategy of &lsquo;Build Back Better&rsquo;.</p>

<p>What are key factors and differences between the two continents&rsquo; green deals, and how do these compare to eco-environmental policies in other countries? What are the challenges and chances of success on the environmental and economic aspects?</p>
