A new wave of European climate and energy policy: Towards a 2030 Framework

This policy brief by Gina Hanrahan attempts to provide an understanding of the current debates and to illuminate the key challenges in designing a new wave of European climate policy. It first sets out the current EU energy and climate framework and discusses progress made to date, before going on to outline a range of key challenges in the design of a 2030 framework.

This is the fourth in a series of Environment Nexus policy briefs by experts in the field of climate, energy, agriculture and water.
