Energy & Sustainability
Europe’s ambitious decarbonisation targets have become a common horizon for European and national policy makers. Yet, achieving a just transition and a carbon-neutral economy by 2050 requires unprecedented joint efforts. Addressing the climate and energy challenges requires a thorough understanding of ever-changing markets and actors, infrastructure developments and affordability of energy for citizens. CERRE actively engages with academics, policymakers, regulators, international organisations, the industry and civil society to move climate and energy regulation forward.
