Delivering on the European Green Deal:
Governing the climate transition beyond emission reductions
The transition to climate stabilization implies a long-lasting, sustained policy effort and a societal transformation that goes far beyond reducing greenhouse gas emissions to net zero. It requires a suitable EU governance framework for planning, decision-making, implementation, monitoring and review, as well as public participation and mobilisation. Such a framework must empower democratic European societies to take ownership of the climate transition and effectively and fairly address the climate challenge. The lecture will review the EU’s existing climate governance framework in this respect and identify major options for making it fully fit for realizing the climate transition.
This freely accessible lecture will refer to the Policy Options Paper "Towards an EU Climate Governance Framework to Deliver on the European Green Deal".
