The Conference of the Parties recognizes the importance of the best available science for climate action; resolves to implement ambitious, just, equitable and inclusive transitions; emphasises the urgent need for immediate, deep, rapid and sustained reductions; recognises that limiting global warming to 1.5°C requires rapid, deep and sustained reductions and urges Parties to adopt a […]
It’s never too early to prepare for next winter: Europe’s gas balance for 2023-2024. IEA.
The current mild temperatures, lower gas prices and high storage levels should not lead to overly optimistic predictions about the future. The combination of below-normal gas demand in October has put strong downward pressure on daily prices. However, Europe is not yet out of the woods, and the IEA’s analysis identifies some significant risks ahead […]
1.5°C Pathways for the EU-27: accelerating climate action to deliver on the Paris Agreement
This report concludes that, to be compatible with 1.5°C, the EU-27 would have to reduce its national emissions faster than currently anticipated. The 1.5°C-compatible pathways assessed in this report and filtered to meet sustainability constraints show that the EU27 can reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 63-73% below 1990 levels.

Coupling energy security, regional connectivity and EU repowering objectives in the CEE region
The REPowerEU Plan sets ambitious targets to be achieved by EU Member States to ensure their energy security. Energy efficiency and conservation are promising tools for short-term reduction of energy consumption, but they need public acceptance and EU support to work. The EU’s medium- and long-term objectives must be achieved, and future energy transit will […]
