This paper provides criticism on the underlying ideas of the European Union’s green and digital twin transition from the perspective of ecological economics. It highlights five fundamental elements (presumptions) of the twin transition narrative and questions their credibility: (1) net zero is an adequate goal; (2) market-based solutions (e.g. carbon emission trading, biodiversity credits) are adequate means to lessen environmental harm; (3) the different elements of natural capital as well as natural and man-made capital are substitutes (the accumulation of one can compensate for the loss of the other); (4) economic value creation can be decoupled from environmental impact through technological change; (5) technologies and technological systems are neutral regarding the social relations and hierarchies. The paper concludes that the EU’s twin transition is actually an attempt to maintain the status quo (the growth-orientatation and the EU’s role during a changing world order), instead of bringing about transformative change towards sustainability. It does not go beyond the eco-modernist approach: it attempts to fight the problems caused by modernisation with more of the same. Therefore, the twin transition, in its present form, is likely to contribute to the aggravation of the global environmental and social crises; and result in furthering (global) inequalities.
