🌞 Good morning from sunny Milan! 🌞

This morning at the #TWINSEEDS WP6-7 Meeting at POLIMI, we’re diving into WP6 scenarios on EU regions, strategic autonomy and COVID-19's impact on #GlobalValueChains.

Exciting talks ahead on recovery funding, strategic tariffs and geopolitical shifts in #EUTrade!

🌍 As the EU #GreenDeal faces scrutiny, one risk is overlooked: cleaner EU supply chains could raise emissions elsewhere - up to 0.5% more. With shifting trade and emission targets, EU policies must take a holistic approach to sustainability!
