Climate Change and Energy Security in Europe: Policy Integration and its Limits

This report analyses how far the EU is integrating its energy and climate change policies. The report focuses on identifying possible synergies and trade-offs between the EU’s most recent package of legislative measures to combat climate change and its energy security objectives.

Better understanding of these interactions will allow potential win-win situations between these two policies to be maximised while also identifying inevitable trade-off.

The report was presented at the seminar Climate Change and Energy Security in the EU: Possible Synergies? and is a part of the research project Energy: towards a common (green) energy policy?
