Opis

This book explores the integration of long-term climate policy objectives into EU energy policy. It engages in-depth empirical analysis of the integration of climate policy objective over renewable energy policy; energy performance of buildings; and policies in support of natural gas importing infrastructure. Addressing how insufficient level of climate policy integration across these areas affects the long-term policy goals and a conceptual framework to find reasons for insufficient integration levels is included.

Recenzje

"This excellent work will be of interest to those working in environmental and climate policy integration and to anyone trying to promote climate-change policy in the EU. It contributes to the emerging body of research on CPI by offering a well-thought-through framework for measuring and explaining different levels of integration – particularly useful for assessing climate mainstreaming in policy output. For the policy process, stakeholder participation may need to be assessed using other indicators. Pro-climate stakeholders perhaps chose not to be more involved in renewable energy and energy conservation policies because DG Energy was pursing the same objectives – to increase the share of renewables in the EU and reduce energy consumption." – Environmental Politics, Catarina Cardoso
