Europe is not alone on climate

October 21, 2013 by Liz Gallagher Leave a Comment

Europe is not alone on climate

Cynics claim that the EU has failed in its attempt to achieve a worldwide climate policy and is only hurting its own economy by insisting on highly ambitious CO2 emission reduction targets. But this is a far too simplistic view of how the world works, argues Liz Gallagher of E3G. According to Gallagher, Europe has achieved much more than most observers realise. Countries across the world are increasingly modelling their policies on the EU … [Read more...]

Europe’s malfunctioning energy market is stifling economic growth

Europe’s malfunctioning energy market is stifling economic growth

Today’s European energy market is still poorly interconnected and neither open nor competitive, writes former European Parliament President and former Prime Minister of Poland Jerzy Buzek, currently a Member of the European Parliament. Moreover, energy prices in the EU are much higher than in China and the US and are increasing. According to Burzek, a truly harmonised common energy market and coordinated investment in infrastructure are vital if … [Read more...]

State aid for nuclear? Are you kidding?

EU Competition Commissioner Joaquín Almunia has provoked a hot debate in Brussels this summer, by proposing to authorise state aid for nuclear power. This comes at the same time that the European Commission is reflecting on how to reduce subsidies for renewables, in line with their increasing maturity. Hughes Belin reports from Brussels. … [Read more...]

EU internal energy market top priority for Lithuania

EU internal energy market top priority for Lithuania

By Sonja van Renssen and Hughes Belin Expectations hang heavy over the EU’s autumn agenda for energy and climate policy. The internal energy market, grid investments, the broken EU Emission Trading Scheme, the future of nuclear, a dogged debate over indirect land-use change (ILUC), and a new climate and energy policy for 2030 are only just held at bay by July’s unusually balmy weather here in Brussels. Sonja van Renssen and Hughes Belin look … [Read more...]

July 17, 2013 by Johannes Meier and Arne Mogren Leave a Comment

Integrating energy and climate policy for low-carbon growth in Europe

Europe’s efforts to control emissions are failing, yet the necessary technologies are already here – decarbonising the power system and then using it to run more of our economy is the key, say Johannes Meier, CEO of the European Climate Foundation, and Arne Mogren, Director of the European Climate Foundation’s Power Programme and Member of the Energy Roadmap 2050 ad hoc Advisory Group.

Finally, a brilliant plan for a climate policy that should please everyone

Finally, a brilliant plan for a climate policy that should please everyone

Policymakes have been faced with huge dilemmas when considering climate change policies. But now a brilliant plan has been conceived to come to a global climate change policy that no reasonable person could object to. It has the beauty of being able to appeal to both climate change believers and sceptics – and anybody in between. And no, I am not joking: it is a serious proposal, made by Canadian economist Ross McKitrick, who presented it to the … [Read more...]
