On March 22, 2022, the Roosevelt Institute convened a panel of experts for a discussion of the new US-EU Green Steel Deal: how the “Global Steel and Aluminum Arrangement” will transform our economy, the effect it will it have on meeting our climate goals, what we should expect and watch as US-EU plans get underway, and more.

As a top contributor of global carbon emissions, the steel industry is an important starting point for a bold new kind of green trade policy. Moving forward, the design of this program could be the model for decarbonizing other industries and transforming our economy.

Opening remarks by:

• Ambassador Katherine Tai, United States Trade Representative
