Energy Transition

For a Covid-19 recovery that addresses both present and future needs, Europe will need to prioritise three key elements.

China’s approach to tackling the climate crisis is easily touted as decisive, admirable action. But to those paying attention, its human and environmental costs cannot be ignored.

The EU and national governments have gone to work on recovery plans to be deployed against the imminent economic crisis. But how green are they?

With the right support from governments and the EU, communities all over Europe can be at the heart of a sustainable energy system.

China’s projected image of ambitious climate actor is contradicted by fossil fuel investments abroad and its prioritisation of economic growth.

The Green transition is not just ecological but also geopolitical. A coherent blueprint with political backing is essential if the EU is to forge a sustainable energy security policy.

In the long run, the transition to renewable energy may prove key to breaking Poland and Ukraine’s dependency on Russian gas.

For renewable energy communities, the path to sustainability is paved by political choices.
