Evaluation of national climate plans

In recent developments in the European Union's energy and climate policy, Kadri Simson, the European Union's Commissioner for Energy, expressed considerable concern about the progress of national climate plans. During a press conference on the state of the "Energy Union 2024", Simson stressed the urgent need for EU countries to submit their missing Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). These plans are key to meeting the EU's climate goals and boosting investor confidence in the transition to a greener energy future. The urgency of the matter underlines the wider context of the EU's efforts to address its dependence on fossil fuels and strengthen the renewable energy sector.

"I call on the EU countries to present the missing national energy and climate plans. To date, we have received only 10 final plans (there are 27 countries in the EU). We are already way past the deadline. These plans are necessary to shift liabilities and build investor confidence." – emphasized Samson. (Nazrin Abdul, more at azernews.az)
