Book excerpt: The European Green Deal aims to make Europe climate neutral by 2050. To help meet this target, the EU has agreed to reduce its net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by at least 55% by 2030, compared to 1990 levels. This increased level of ambition requires action in all sectors of the economy. To achieve this, the European Commission's latest Green Deal proposals recognise the importance of research and innovation, and of the Innovation Principle, in promoting smart, future-oriented policies and encouraging technological and social innovation.
Book Synopsis Negotiating the EU’s 2030 Climate and Energy Framework by : Oscar Fitch-Roy
Download or read book Negotiating the EU’s 2030 Climate and Energy Framework written by Oscar Fitch-Roy and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2014, European heads of state selected new targets for the EU as part of the 2030 climate and energy framework. These targets will guide the ambition and nature of EU policy in this area until 2030 and are likely to have important implications for Europe’s transition to a low-carbon economy. This book exposes the role of civil society and business interest groups in setting the policymaking agenda and defining the range of options for the framework. Based on a unique sample of 32 in-depth interviews with Brussels policy elites, this book casts EU interest representation in a new light. In a novel application of the ‘multiple streams approach’, sequential chapters present the problems faced by policymakers, the range of policy options available to address them and the political constraints within which policy entrepreneurs attempted to attached policies to problems.
Book Synopsis Towards a Climate-Neutral Europe by : Jos Delbeke
Download or read book Towards a Climate-Neutral Europe written by Jos Delbeke and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-10-16 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explains the EU’s climate policies in an accessible way, to demonstrate the step-by-step approach that has been used to develop these policies, and the ways in which they have been tested and further improved in the light of experience. The latest changes to the legislation are fully explained throughout. The chapters throughout this volume show that no single policy instrument can bring down greenhouse gas emissions. The challenge facing the EU, as for many countries that have made pledges under the Paris Agreement, is to put together a toolbox of policy instruments that is coherent, delivers emissions reductions, and is cost-effective. The book stands out by the fact it covers the EU’s emissions trading system, the energy sector and other economic sectors, including their development in the context of international climate policy. This accessible book will be of great relevance to students, scholars and policy makers alike.

Book excerpt: National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs) set out how Member States will contribute to the EU-wide climate and energy targets from 2021 to 2030. Full implementation of these plans would put Europe on track to surpass its current 2030 targets for greenhouse gas emissions reduction and renewable energy. The NECPs are a springboard for the higher ambition proposed by the Commission. They also offer crucial input for Member States' recovery and resilience plans and just transition plans. Increased climate ambition has the potential to accelerate the modernisation of our economy, drive innovation and a fair transition and create long-term, skilled green jobs.
Book Synopsis Linking EU Climate and Energy Policies by : Jon Birger Skjærseth
Download or read book Linking EU Climate and Energy Policies written by Jon Birger Skjærseth and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2016-05-27 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on an innovative theoretical framework combining theories of EU policy making, negotiation and implementation, this comprehensive book examines EU climate and energy policies from the early 1990s until the adoption of new policies for 2030. The authors investigate how the linking of climate and energy concerns in policy packages has facilitated agreement among EU leaders with very different policy ambitions. Employing in-depth studies from a diverse range of energy-economic countries, the book also explores the impact of the implementation of policies on the climate and energy policy framework and the Energy Union initiative. Social scientists and researchers in EU climate and energy policies will find the new empirical data and theoretical approach useful to their work. Students of the social sciences and politics will also benefit from the accessible overview of EU climate and energy policy development. This book will also be of interest to private and public decision-makers looking for explanations for the causes and consequences of EU climate and energy policy development.
Book Synopsis Delivering a Climate Neutral Europe by : Jos Delbeke
Download or read book Delivering a Climate Neutral Europe written by Jos Delbeke and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-05-17 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Delivering a Climate Neutral Europe summarises the achievements of 25 years of EU Climate Policy, with the emphasis on what has been achieved under the Green Deal. It also highlights climate issues on the table of policy makers in the next European policy cycle 2024–2029. Curated by Jos Delbeke, one of the foremost experts in this field, the chapters are all written by responsible officials of the EU Commission services, who were deeply involved in the negotiations related to the legislation they prepared. They explain how ambitious targets were prepared for 2030 and 2050 in view of implementing the commitments taken in 2015 under the Paris Agreement and present the overall architecture of the policy to counter the idea that an avalanche of legislative action is being developed without much structure. In particular, this book examines the carbon pricing tool that Europe implemented under the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), the differentiated targets Member States have to deliver and climate-relevant EU legislation in the fields of energy, transport, industry, finance and agriculture and forestry. The authors also discuss the upcoming headwinds in the form of a growing scepticism in public opinion, and the impact of the wars in the close neighbourhood of the European continent. Written as a follow-up to previous publications EU Climate Policy Explained and Towards a Climate-Neutral Europe, this new volume will be a vital resource for students, scholars and policy makers alike who are researching and working in the areas of climate change, environmental governance and EU policy more broadly.
Book Synopsis Luxembourg and the European Green Deal by :
Download or read book Luxembourg and the European Green Deal written by and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To fight the climate crisis, the EU's goal is to cut its net greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030. For Luxembourg, this means reducing emissions by 50% by 2030 in sectors outside the EU Emissions Trading System, compared to 2005. These include emissions from transport, buildings, agriculture and waste. To get there, the European Commission estimates that at least 25% of Luxembourg's final energy consumption would need to come from renewable sources by 2030. Equally, with a national energy efficiency target of 40-44% by 2030, Luxembourg is contributing to the proposed EU-wide goals of 41.5% for primary energy consumption and 39% for final energy consumption.

Book Synopsis Climate Change and European Leadership by : Joyeeta Gupta
Download or read book Climate Change and European Leadership written by Joyeeta Gupta and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2000-07-31 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The issue of climate change is now widely recognised as one of the major challenges for mankind in the 21st century, not only because it may ultimately affect many areas of our environment, nature and human activity but also because its mitigation may have far reaching consequences for almost all sectors of the economy where energy conversion takes place. Although climate change is firmly positioned on the political agenda and some initial targets have been agreed within a global framework, we are still far away from a mature political and practical policy which may deliver timely and appropriate results .to tum the tide. This is partly due to the complex nature of a possible global climate change regime, the still early stage of the development of effective and efficient instruments and the wide variety of possible ramifications for individual countries and economic sectors. But it is also due to the complexity of the negotiation process, and the lack of effective international or even global governance and leadership to tackle a multi-dimensional problem of this size and nature. This book is the first broad attempt to address the issue of leadership by one of the major parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in the ongoing international debate and negotiations towards such a policy which inevitably has to be constructed on a global scale.
Book Synopsis Poland and the European Green Deal by :
Download or read book Poland and the European Green Deal written by and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To fight the climate crisis, the EU's goal is to cut its net greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030. For Poland, this means reducing emissions by 17.7% by 2030 in sectors outside the EU Emissions Trading System, compared to 2005. These include emissions from transport, buildings, agriculture and waste. To get there, the European Commission estimates that at least 25% of Poland's final energy consumption would need to come from renewable sources by 2030. Equally, with a national energy efficiency target of 23% reduction in primary energy consumption by 2030, there is potential for Poland to contribute more to the proposed EU-wide goals of 39% for primary energy consumption and 36% for final energy consumption.

Book Synopsis State aid guidelines for environmental protection and energy (EEAG) by : Catherine Banet
Download or read book State aid guidelines for environmental protection and energy (EEAG) written by Catherine Banet and published by Centre on Regulation in Europe asbl (CERRE). This book was released on 2020-09-22 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Europe’s energy State aid guidelines no longer reflect the market reality and need to be carefully revised. This study looks at the existing rules and provides recommendations for the revised guidelines to effectively contribute to accelerating the decarbonisation of Europe’s economy. It calls on the European Commission to pursue a combined approach that looks at reinforcing both common objectives and specific State aid measures. Since the approval of the latest Guidelines for State Aid for Energy and Environmental Protection (EEAG) in 2014, the EU institutions have agreed to accelerate the decarbonisation process to reach a climate-neutral economy by 2050. This strong impetus heavily influences the energy market where we see new economic models and types of actors emerging, and where there has been significant technological progress over the past years. The energy and environmental protection State aid guidelines no longer reflect the market’s reality and need to be revised carefully. As Brussels is about to kick off the revision of the EEAG, this report provides recommendations for new rules that effectively contribute to fast-tracking the transition towards low carbon energy systems in a cost-efficient way. Above all, Brussels should align the new rules with its 2030 climate and energy transition targets. “The EEAG reform should combine approaches that look both at common objectives and specific aid measures. This requires a significant evolution of the current regime whilst ensuring smooth continuity. Defining clear criteria to assess the contribution of a specific State aid measure to the ‘common interest’ is of utmost importance. The revised EEAG should strengthen these assessment criteria, including for specific aid measures. They must promote technology neutrality and consider the energy system’s resilience. Among the assessment criteria, the application of the proportionality test should be improved.” - Catherine Banet, author of the report The Guidelines are part of a bigger ecosystem of rules. The EEAG work in close interaction with the general block exemption Regulation (GBER) which allows the Commission to exempt prior State aid notification – and approval – in specific cases. This has proven to be efficient and should be maintained. If, during the review, a different approach is chosen, it may impact the entire architecture of the hard and soft law ecosystem of the EU state aid regime. The Clean Energy Package for All Europeans is a driver of the reflection behind the revision of the Guidelines. The scope of application of the EEAG should reflect and build upon the provisions laid down in this package. At the same time, the new Guidelines have the challenging task of anticipating the impacts of moving climate targets from the European Green Deal and the upcoming rules to achieve them, such as the revised renewable energy directive, the revised alternative fuels infrastructure directive, the implementation of the sector integration strategy and the Hydrogen strategy. Finally, enforcing the rules is just as important as setting the right rules. The report notes that, on several occasions in its recent case law, the Court of Justice of the EU has reversed some of the European Commission’s approval decisions, with major impacts on markets. The revised Guidelines should be set and applied so as to eliminate the risk of reversals of the Commission’s decisions as much as possible. “The COVID-19 crisis is just one example of the deep uncertainties and changes our society is going through. Europe should be prepared for more disruption. We need to build a more resilient energy system that can cope with such unexpected external shocks. The energy state aid Guidelines should be an integral part of a long term sustainable recovery roadmap.” - Catherine Banet, author of the report.
Download or read book EU Climate and Energy Targets written by and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The EU achieved its 2020 climate and energy targets, but some member states did not contribute as expected to the targets. The Commission did not assess whether the EU had reached its targets as a result of its policies rather than as a result of external factors, such as the 2009 financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic. The EU's 2020 and 2030 greenhouse gas emissions targets do not include emissions embodied in imported goods or emissions from international aviation and shipping. Little data is available on the cost to the EU budget, national budgets and private sector at which the EU achieved its targets. The National Energy and Climate Plans lack data on investment needs and funding sources to assess whether such plans are a sound basis to reach the 2030 targets.
Book Synopsis The Politics of Low-Carbon Innovation by : Per Ove Eikeland
Download or read book The Politics of Low-Carbon Innovation written by Per Ove Eikeland and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-28 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Although technological innovation is undoubtedly crucial for addressing climate change, low-carbon innovation policies and politics have hardly been studied. This book clearly reveals the promises and pitfalls of European efforts in this field – recommended reading!"—Sebastian Oberthür, Institute for European Studies, Belguim "This compact volume effectively addresses a surprisingly unknown territory in an otherwise well-explored landscape. In doing so, it will provide a useful resource to all who follow the uneven progress of climate and energy policy in the EU context, as well as those who are interested in policies to stimulate technology development more broadly." —Tim Rayner, Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, University of East Anglia, UK The EU Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan) was aimed at accelerating low-carbon innovation by raising, coordinating and concentrating resources to certain low-carbon technologies. At the ten-year anniversary of the SET-Plan, this book examines why it was adopted and what it has achieved. Using an analytical framework developed to capture the ‘politics of innovation’, the authors trace the history of the Plan from initiation to implementation, and then explain its development as seen from the perspectives of the EU institutions, member-states, industry, the research community and international technology markets. The concluding chapter discusses lessons and prospects for European low-carbon innovation towards 2030 and beyond. This new work fills a void in the literature on EU climate and energy policies, and will appeal to scholars, students and practitioners in these fields.
Book Synopsis Implementing the European Union 2030 Climate and Energy Framework by : Anne Held
Download or read book Implementing the European Union 2030 Climate and Energy Framework written by Anne Held and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "On 23-24 October 2014, the European Council decided on a new set of targets for 2030 by adopting the '2030 Climate and Energy Policy Framework'. The framework raises several practical questions that need to be addressed in the upcoming legislative process, specifically regarding renewables. The aim of this paper--prepared in the context of the European IEE project 'towards2030-dialogue', of which CEPS is a partner--is to provide a first analysis of these questions and to offer policy recommendations based on our findings. The main issues revolve around the need for dedicated support for reaching the renewables target, how to ensure a legally binding character of the EU-target in the absence of binding national commitments and how to share the overall 27% target among individual entities such as single EU member states or groups of EU member states."--Centre for European Policy Studies website
Book Synopsis Sustainable Energy Policies for Europe by : Rainer Hinrichs-Rahlwes
Download or read book Sustainable Energy Policies for Europe written by Rainer Hinrichs-Rahlwes and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2013-09-25 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The discussion about energy perspectives beyond 2020, up to 2030 and eventually 2050 has started. There seems to be a verbal consensus on the necessity of ambitious climate change mitigation policies, without a convincing perspective of the necessary policy decisions to be reached in due time. Methods to achieve greenhouse gas reduction as well as energy security vary from aiming for 100% renewable energies and setting up appropriate policy frameworks to implementing a mix of renewables comprising so-called clean fossil and nuclear energy. This book provides an analysis of the different approaches and the reasons why there is no sustainable alternative to aiming for 100% renewables – and how this vision could come true. The book provides an overview and in-depth analysis of a vital debate. It describes how the present policy framework with 2020-targets for the share of renewables, for increase of energy efficiency and for greenhouse gas emissions reduction was developed and how it has been implemented so far. Furthermore, it describes and analyses the emerging debate about the future of our energy system and the necessary next steps and targets leading up to 2030.
