National Energy and Climate Plans: Evidence of Policy Impacts and Options for more Transparency | Umweltbundesamt

The meta study makes suggestions on content requirements, transparency and comprehensibility of NECP reporting and contributes to its further development. The authors analysed the German NECP and the NECPs of Denmark, France, Sweden and Slovenia. The focus was on the methodology of ex-ante and ex-post evaluations, the contributions of 23 PaMs to the achievement of the EU climate protection and energy transition targets for 2030, as well as socio-economic and further environmental impacts associated with the PaMs. The study discusses identified knowledge gaps, uncertainties, conflict lines and synergies and addresses policy makers, administrators and scientists.
