We're delighted to share that findings from our TWIN SEEDS research have been featured in The Conversation Europe !

In the article entitled ‘Global trade is fracturing: here’s why the EU needs the Green Deal more than ever’, researchers - María Ángeles Cadarso (UCLM), Ángela García-Alaminos (UCLM), Louise Curran (TBS Education), and Thibaut Joltreau (TBS Education) - explore why strengthening the EU Green Deal is more urgent than ever. 

Instead of rolling back environmental policies, they argue for a more strategic industrial and trade approach -one that embraces targeted relocation, sustainable sourcing, and the circular economy - to cut emissions while reducing the EU’s geopolitical risks.

As global value chains face growing disruptions, the EU Green Deal stands out as a vital tool for economic resilience and sustainable growth. Within TWIN SEEDS, we analyze how trade fragmentation affects labor markets, sustainability, and economic policy across Europe.

This article helps bring these critical discussions to a wider audience, reinforcing the need for greener, fairer trade policies in an evolving global economy.

Stay tuned as TWIN SEEDS continues to explore the future of global trade and its impact on Europe!
