Is the EU doing enough to fight climate change?

As one of the largest economies and political entities in the world, the European Union (EU) plays a key role in the global fight against climate change. Over the years, the EU has implemented a range of policies and initiatives aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing the share of renewable energy and promoting energy efficiency. However, with the increasing urgency of the climate crisis, the question arises: Is the EU doing enough to fight climate change? In this blog post we will discuss EU climate policy, its effectiveness and possible areas for improvement. Policies in the field of climate and energy. The EU has been at the forefront of global climate action, implementing various policies and targets aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting renewable energy. The European Green Deal, announced in 2019, is a comprehensive plan to achieve climate neutrality for the EU by 2050, which includes a wide range of initiatives and policies, including a European climate law that legally binds the goal of climate neutrality by 2050. One of the EU's most important climate policies is the Emissions Trading System (ETS), which limits the total amount of greenhouse gases that large industries and power plants can emit and allows companies to trade emission allowances. This market-based approach incentivizes businesses to reduce their emissions, with the cap gradually reduced over time. In addition, the EU has set ambitious targets for renewable energy and energy efficiency. For example, the Renewable Energy Directive (RED) requires EU countries to reach a common target of 32 % of renewable energy by 2030. This has led to the growth of the renewable energy market in Europe, with companies increasingly entering into Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) to secure supplies renewable energy. The emergence of PPA Europe platforms has facilitated the growth of corporate renewable energy resources, further supporting the clean energy transition. (Canyon News)
