How serious is the backlash against deforestation? Is the recoil another sign that the EU’s Green Deal is under threat? Will conservative governments continue to oppose laws linked to the Green Deal’s implementation?

Radio Schuman is hosted and produced by Maïa de la Baume, with journalist and production assistant Eleonora Vasques, audio editing by Zacharia Vigneron and music by Alexandre Jas.
