Consultation Response: Review of the EU's Governance Regulation
Publications: Environmental Democracy
The EU’s Governance Regulation sets out the rules for planning, reporting and monitoring on the Energy Union and Climate Action. It supports strategic medium- and long-term energy and climate planning and provides a framework for Member States to report on their progress towards meeting the 2030 and long-term energy and climate objectives and targets to the Commission and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). It also enables the Commission to assess and monitor the progress made by the EU and by Member States, and to take measures in cases where the level of ambition or progress is insufficient. The European Commission is currently undertaking a review of the Governance regulation and is in the process of assessing several options to revise the Governance Regulation ‘with a view to developing the framework needed for a true Energy Union and to deliver on the EU’s climate and energy objectives in a simple and flexible manner’.
This consultation response is informed by Environmental Justice Network Ireland’s research and advocacy on EU climate governance and our practical experience of engaging with the recent update of Ireland’s National Energy and Climate Plan and Long-Term Strategy under the Governance Regulation, as well as analysis from CAN-E, EEB, WWF, Ecologic and E3G.
The consultation runs until 19th March, 11pm Irish time.
