How can we expand wind energy in Europe? | Climate Now debate highlights

Watch the full debate here: https://youtu.be/5bKyVNUF_Lc

The EU has put its energy behind the promise of wind power. With initiatives like REPowerEU increasing the target for wind-generated electricity, the next decade will hopefully see massive growth in the production of wind farms.

Why is wind power such an important source of renewable energy, how and where will we install these new wind farms, and how can we counter any negative side effects the energy source brings?

These questions and more were at the heart of Euronews’ latest Debate, hosted by the team behind Climate Now – a monthly programme giving you the latest climate facts from the Copernicus Climate Change Service, analyse the trends and explain how our planet is changing.
