The Green Deal, a European Commission initiative aimed at protecting the climate and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, has sparked controversy in the Czech public debate. An analysis of the media discourse on the Green Deal from an energy perspective shows that the Green Deal is perceived mostly negatively. In the media, it has been labelled with condemnatory statements and negative characterisations, especially by leading Czech politicians. Czech companies, municipalities and experts have a more favourable view of it. The public debate is changing, especially due to the impact of the war in Ukraine, in favour of energy security and accelerating the green transformation.
