TARGETS FOR 2030 MUST BE FEASIBLE
IN COOPERATION WITH LEADERS MAGAZINE
By the end of the year, the European Commission is to submit a proposal for a 2030 framework for climate and energy policies. Before that, wide range of questions regarding the main aspects of further development after 2020 and specific actions and targets to be taken by 2030 needs to be answered. A Green Paper on a 2030 framework for climate and energy policies, adopted by the Commission on 27th March 2013, covers the set of related questions. With a few exceptions, the EU continues fulfilling its 2020 targets quite successfully. Now it is time to come up with new targets for post 2020.In order to find out the opinion of Czech public and professionals in the field of energy and climate policy in the EU and thus contribute to the European debate, CEBRE – Czech Business Representation to the EU together with the Representation of the European Commission in the Czech Republic, European Parliament Information Office in the Czech Republic and Confederation of Employers’ and Entrepreneurs’ Associations of the Czech Republic co-organized a debate in the European House in Prague on 9th September.
