Beschreibung:
This book explores the integration of long-term climate policy objectives into EU energy policy. It engages in-depth empirical analysis of the integration of climate policy objective over renewable energy policy; energy performance of buildings; and policies in support of natural gas importing infrastructure. Addressing how insufficient level of climate policy integration across these areas affects the long-term policy goals and a conceptual framework to find reasons for insufficient integration levels is included.
