Closing the prosperity gap between regions has always been a key political aspiration of the European Union – and cohesion
policy is the primary means to achieve that goal. Europe is currently undergoing a digital and green transition that is drastically
changing the way its economy works. How well prepared are regions to capitalise on the twin transition? And what impact will
it have on regional cohesion in Europe? Our study finds that greening and digitalising the economy will likely widen the gap
between rich and poor regions in Europe.
