An analysis of the policy documents outlining the practical measures of the Green Deal shows that it will decrease carbon emissions in Europe, but also increase carbon emissions outside the EU. This increase is more than double the amount of carbon emissions saved by the Green Deal.
Their conclusion is that the Green Deal in its current form will lead to an increase of 244.8% in emissions in countries outside the EU compared to the Green Deal’s carbon reduction goal in the land, land use change, and forestry sector within EU borders.

Yes the idea is that other countries will follow suit, but who’s gonna ask countries that are still developing to pay extra 25% cost of something that’s sustainable.
