This article puts forward that the European Green Deal (EGD) is more than just another initiative for green growth. Instead, it adds a building block to the European economic model, alongside the single market and economic and monetary union. The pandemic crisis would therefore need to be addressed also through the EGD framework. We find that the Covid-19 crisis provided a missing link between the EGD's long-term objectives and conducive short-term policies. We discuss to what extent economic governance changes reinforce the role of the EGD as a pillar of the European Union economic model, contributing also to creating strong (political, institutional and society) dynamics in favour of sustainability and promoting integration.

欧洲绿色协议：不仅仅是大流行危机的退出战略，是可持续欧洲经济模式的基石*

本文提出，欧洲绿色协议 (EGD) 不仅仅是另一项绿色增长倡议。相反，它为欧洲经济模式添加了一个基石，与单一市场以及经济和货币联盟并驾齐驱。因此，大流行危机也需要通过 EGD 框架来解决。我们发现，Covid-19 危机在 EGD 的长期目标和有利的短期政策之间提供了一个缺失的环节。我们讨论了经济治理变革在多大程度上加强了 EGD 作为欧盟经济模式支柱的作用，也有助于创造有利于可持续性和促进一体化的强大（政治、制度和社会）动力。
