Daniel Muth from the Vrij Universiteit Amsterdam (VU) is member of the NAVIGATOR work package on climate change, which is focusing on how the EU positions itself in term of climate uncertainties within a fragmented and evolving global governance landscape. Drawing on his expertise in environmental governance and international cooperation, Muth highlights the complexity of climate diplomacy. His analysis looks at instruments like the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), which illustrates how the EU combines regulatory ambition with geopolitical awareness. Through a mapping of governance structures, Muth and his team at VU assess how the EU can navigate tensions between climate leadership and strategic interests, offering practical pathways to align global action with European priorities.

"Making sense of EU" is a podcast created and produced by the Institut d’études européennes (IEE) of the Université libre de Bruxelles, in which scientific research sheds light on the pressing issues of EU affairs. This 3rd series, NAVIGATOR, explores European efforts to navigate multilateral cooperation, as a part of the Horizon Europe NAVIGATOR project, co-funded by the European Union.

In an increasingly complex and fragmented governance context, NAVIGATOR examines the strategies available to the EU to promote a rules-based international order, raising crucial questions: which institutional spaces to strengthen, which to reform, and which to bypass? With an interdisciplinary team of international researchers, NAVIGATOR focuses on six priority areas: climate change, digitalization, finance and taxation, health, migration and security.
