Aims to investigate and propose reforms to the national governance system – i.e. the mandates, rules, competencies and responsibilities of public institutions at different levels of subsidiarity – to ensure the effective and efficient achievement of climate objectives. For example, public administrations at all levels need to be empowered with the responsibilities, mandates and budgets to deliver decarbonisation and resilience.
The National Energy and Climate Plan: a plan for action
December 2023
The NECP provides a framework for EU Member States to implement their emission reduction commitments for a ten-year period. These must be aligned with the Paris Agreement. The current revision of the NECP must be built on the target of reducing emissions by at least 55% by 2030, compared to 1990 levels, as detailed in the Fit for 55 package. The NECP should thus include the strategy to align with the EU’s collective target for 2030, as well as achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
