Moving from 20 to 30% emission reduction by 2020? – Reaching the 80% emission reduction target while securing the benefits of transitioning towards a low carbon economy
This CS project led by the Paris-based Institute for Sustainable Development and International Relations (IDDRI) will focus on the different kinds of arguments that can be mobilized to answer this question based on the following inputs:
- CIRED Center for International Research on Environment and Development on the time consistency of the EU emissions reduction pathway, and
the competitiveness and leakage impact of moving to 30% by 2020
- E3G on the global race towards low carbon technology competitiveness
- ECN on the low carbon technology innovation and diffusion implications of moving to 30%
- ECOFYS on the consistency on the EU emission reduction, renewable energy and energy efficiency target, and
on the energy security impacts of moving to 30%
- ICE International Consulting on Energy on the employment impact of climate policies
- IDDRI on the investment dynamics in the electricity sector
- FIIA Finish institute of International Affairs on the energy security impacts of moving to 30% for Poland, Czech Republic and Latvia (available for download: Linking an EU emission reduction target by 20% to Energy Security in Central and Eastern Europe) and on the use of the EU budget to support the transition towards a low carbon economy in Central and eastern European (CEE) countries (available for download: Can the EU budget support climate policy in Central and Eastern Europe?)
An expert seminar has been organised by The Finnish Institute of International Affairs, Germanwatch and Climate Strategies on “How to Win New Member State Support for Stronger EU Climate Policy? An EU Implementation Strategy for Move to 30%”. The workshop report is available for download as a FIIA Briefing Paper.
