CAN Europe updated its National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs) Tracker tool which compares national climate and energy commitments with EU 2030 targets and benchmarks, as well as with actual emission reductions and energy transition taking place at country level. The tool reveals that climate and energy ambition is insufficient and action on the ground is not happening at the required pace...
