Climate and Energy Platform
As the necessity to decouple economic growth from a rise in emissions becomes more urgent, it is paramount for the EU to conduct an ambitious climate policy in line with its climate targets and the pledges made in the Paris agreement. In order for the EU to deliver on the Energy Union, in addition to climate action, it needs to tackle the issues around competitiveness and energy security. The European Policy Centre Climate and Energy Platform aims to promote discussion on these issues through multi-stakeholder debate and independent analysis. While evaluating the current policy developments, it makes recommendations for the way forward and reflects on the elements needed to achieve a positive and successful narrative for climate and energy action in Europe that can point to the benefits in reducing global emissions, fighting climate change locally, securing energy supplies, promoting wider socio-economic interests and increasing competitiveness – all at the same time.
