Germany has not submitted a draft National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) update, as of 30 September 2023, and it is not clear when it will. In June, the long-awaited Climate Action Programme – a cornerstone also for the NECP update – was finally adopted. This should imply that the NECP update will soon be submitted. The Climate Action Programme, however, is not sufficient to achieve the 2030 climate targets set in the Federal Climate Protection Act. This was also confirmed by the German Council of Experts on Climate Change. The draft NECP update presents itself as a perfect opportunity to adjust its trajectory. Environmental organisations have developed a set of recommended policies and measures to fill this gap…
Belgium overall does not strive towards a 1.5°C trajectory. With the current regional plans, Belgium would not fulfil the EU requirements for climate effort sharing. There is not enough information available with regards to energy efficiency and renewables. Planned policies and measures (PAMs) are likely not enough to achieve the non-Emission Trading System (non-ETS) target…
Bulgaria has not yet submitted its draft National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) update, nor started any form of public consultation, as of 30 September 2023. It is not clear what the progress on the update is, as no draft or relevant related studies have been released so far. With the new government, a first draft might be expected in late Autumn. Based on previous experiences and available information, civil society organisations have developed a set of recommendations…
Croatia overall does not move towards a 1.5°C trajectory. Croatia however fulfils the minimum EU requirements for climate effort sharing and likely for renewable energy. The energy efficiency contribution is not ambitious enough to align with the EU 2030 energy efficiency target. Only some policies and measures (PAMs) are laid out in detail and linked to targets, while many still remain too vague and lack credibility. On top, Croatia plans to expand fossil fuels infrastructure while they should be phased out. Communication across governance levels and with stakeholders has improved significantly compared to the 2019 NECP…
Czechia overall does not move towards a 1.5°C trajectory. Czechia however fulfils the minimum EU requirements for climate effort sharing. Czechia foresees a level of consumption that is in line with the EU energy efficiency target, but measures are insufficient to achieve the target for final energy. The renewable energy contribution might not be ambitious enough to align with the EU 2030 renewable energy target. Policies and measures (PAMs) presented for climate and are insufficient to achieve the EU 2030 effort sharing target The draft still presents many internal inconsistencies across the document…
