How much progress has the European Union made since the launch of the European Green Deal five years ago? Is it actually achieving its objectives? Is it on the right track? Are there any weaknesses or gaps, and if so, what are they?

Given the difficulty of tracking the Green Deal’s progress, researchers Eloi Laurent, Jérôme Creel and Emma Lavaissière have developed a comprehensive statistical tool, the Green Deal Radar, which is freely available to decision-makers and the general public. It compares the status of the 14 indicators set by the EU with the jointly agreed goals.

We discuss the promise of this tool, its significance on the eve of the European elections, and the three researchers’ design choices.
