the president of the european commission line was very clear when she said that the european green deal will be the strategy for the blocs fruiterer economic growth growth that could be threatened by a trade dispute with the united states however after listening to the u.s. president donald trump who again addressed office today in a press conference it seems like trade negotiations between the u. and the u.s. are not going so well the president even said that it's more complicated to negotiate with the e.u. and negotiating with china experts agree that a trade dispute with you would be far more costly for the u.s. economy than the ongoing trade dispute with china that's because taking into consideration imports and exports bilateral trade in 2018 for example was 70 percent larger between the u.s. and the e.u. than between the u.s. and china. u.w. correspondent haas and get us reporting there now what is the purpose of a company is a to simply create value for shareholders or is it to guarantee certain social goods like work and decent wages with climate change looming and inequality pe

last month we launched the european green deal. not only, it is about boosting innovation for it is about clea n boosting innovation for it is about clean technologies, green financing, quality food. it is about modern mobility. the european green deal is our new growth strategy and it will create new businesses and markets in europe and across the world. the novelty and the difference is that we will and can foster a growth model that is not consuming or extracting but one that gives back more to the planet than it takes away from the planet. great britain is as dedicated as the european union as it comes to addressing climate change and taking global leadership. a whole continent has to mobilise and the whole world needs to be part of this transformation. the european green deal won't happen overnight and it will be demanding and no country can hope to handle climate change alone. but if this is the right thing to do and if we do it together, we can lead the change. dear students, over the next month and years we will have to loos

laid out her european green deal to tackle climate change but klein doesn't think it goes far enough she seeks a systems change if the green new deal is not guided by science and guided by justice and that doesn't mean just cutting our emissions very very rapidly it also means putting real resources on the table so poor countries in the global south are able to leapfrog over fossil fuels and go directly to renewable energy and if it doesn't have really strong social guarantees then no it's not really a green new deal. but how could this green new deal come about klein says we need to stop seeing ourselves primarily as consumers only when we start seeing ourselves as part of a larger community lou we be able to affect real change this shift is already happening in many countries thanks to young climate change activists they're not afraid of change they're not afraid of dreaming of a different system other than the one we have right now because it's not like oh this is tim it's working great except for the small matter of you know melting ice sheets. a new age of protest has begun. and

and she put climate change at the center of the speech she delivered today take a listen the european green deal is our new growth strategy. the novelty. and the difference. to our fossil fuel based model is. that we will fall still growth that is not extracting resources but that gives back to the planet more than it takes away from it and europe has the 1st mover advantage the 1st mover advantage there is the european union's green agenda ringing any alarm bells among the business elites there where you are in davos. well to a certain extent brand not necessarily because investors or companies don't realize the necessity of fighting climate change they realize that there are risks by not doing so but the problem is that this is an idea that is very hard to sell especially to the regular people that ultimately decide where they put their money on that is why it was enough underline also mentioned that group of 44 important investors in europe that asked the e.u. to sign a law to force climate neutrality because of course it is easier to tell people that they have to invest in climate neutral pr

the european green deal is our new growth strategy. but novelty. and the difference to our fossil fuel. based model is that we will foster growth that is not extracting resources but that gives back to the planet more than it takes away from it. and europe has the 1st mover advantage national of dylan joins me now from davos responded to did of your team in down was a general order for the line there pushing the european union as a 1st move when it comes to a new green economy how would that be receive them. well it's certainly a very welcome message and no politician diplomats or otherwise stakeholder here at davos would be able to get away from the air without talking about the environment without giving without acknowledging the need to act on the climate crisis but really what's interesting here is that the emergent question of who is leading whom is it the government leading the private sector or the other way around in fact that was from this press conference that we learned that 44 investors worth a total of 6 trillion euros had pushed had p

>> ffrl, the european green deal in a sense is already agreed and also political ambition of rope to neutrality by 2050 is agreed. all of these elements are already in place. with the european green deal, the next step will be coming with climate law, basically making this goal of carbon neutrality by 2050 legally binding. we want to strengthen it. of course there is lots of investment. that's why last week we adopted a sustainable europe investment plan. aiming to mobilize at least one trillion euros over the next decade but we will also be combining this with an updated sustainable finance action plan. the bulk of the finance willing need to come from the private sector and for this you also need clear rules. francine: you confident that will become legally binding? >> that is our it is a commission will be coming forward with this proposal. we see lots of momentum also among e.u. member states. francine: as always, thank you so much for your time. the e.u. commission vice president. back to you in london. matt: francine, thank you very much. francine lacqua there in davos. chinese
