The Green Recovery Tracker assesses the contribution of EU member states’ national recovery plans to the green transition. The assessment is based on a quantitative and qualitative analysis conducted in partnership with local experts.
Choose a country from the map or list for some short facts about each country.
We assess the amount of money (in €) assigned to recovery measures that aim to mitigate climate change. The overall green spending share is calculated as the relative shares of the funds allocated to very positive measures (100% climate coefficient) and those allocated to positive measures (40% climate coefficient), based on our methodology. The approach of weighing measures differently based on whether they make a full or partial contribution to the green transition is also part of the Recovery and Resilience Facility’s climate tracking methodology.
Green Spending Share EU:
Only includes measures contained in (draft) EU Recovery and Resilience Plans.
Green Spending Share Total:
Includes all recovery measures, including measures financed through the domestic budget, where applicable. When selecting this view on the map, the Green Spending Share EU is shown for those countries whose recovery measures are entirely financed through EU funds.
To date, we have evaluated the green spending share of nine countries’ recovery plans. More recovery plans will be analyzed over the coming weeks. Our assessment will be updated and published here once the plans become available. We provide:
Our work relies on the availability of national recovery measures and plans in EU member states. We will continuously update and expand our analysis as new data becomes available. Via our dedicated Twitter account, we will also share the latest developments with regards to the European recovery as they happen.
The Green Recovery Tracker is a joint project by Wuppertal Institute and E3G - Third Generation Environmentalism, combining scientific excellence and political insights. Our analyses are supported by national partners and experts acknowledged in the country reports.
Our core team consists of Timon Wehnert, Helena Mölter, Magdolna Prantner and Stefan Werland (all Wuppertal Institute) as well as Johanna Lehne and Felix Heilmann (both E3G). We are very grateful to Alexander Reitzenstein for his past contributions. If you have any questions or comments, we would love to hear from you!
