Another year passes and Europe continues its fight for peace, prosperity, and progress. The crises continue; the winter is far from forgotten. Yet the sun dawns; regions and agencies continue to drive towards a green future. To quote poet Seamus Heaney: “if we winter this one out, we can summer anywhere.”
Analysis by the EEB found that measures by EU states to reduce energy consumption vary widely and remain insufficient to put the EU on track to reach its own energy-saving targets.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! And, for European regions and energy agencies – the busiest. In our final Bulletin of 2022, we keep things reflective and prospective; join us as we look back on more best practices and projects, and as we prepare for a new year – one that can only build upon the progress of today.
As the next trilogue will take place on the occasion of the next European Parliament plenary on 14 December 2022, FEDARENE offers an overview of the most crucial points of negotiations.
The final report of the Energy Efficiency Watch 4 project is out! Exploring the status of European energy efficiency policies, the report identifies and helps to construct social narratives that support the uptake and implementation of these policies at all levels of governance.
Winter is now well underway across Europe – and with it, an energy crisis that continues to show the importance of local and regional energy agencies. This week, FEDARENE launched a new series on measures that combat the current crisis – and prepare Europe for climate neutrality. As always, we also bring the latest on projects, proposals, and events to fill your calendar. Happy reading!
It’s said that “Nothing lasts forever, even cold November rain”, but the FEDARENE Bulletin will always be here. Bearing the latest on Europe’s energy transition, this week we are excited to welcome two new staff members to our operation; we bring you the latest on projects, policies, and proposals; and we highlight news from Sharm El-Sheikh, where COP27 negotiations continue.
With the world in the midst of the first global energy crisis – triggered by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine – the World Energy Outlook 2022 (WEO) provides indispensable analysis and insights on the implications of this profound and ongoing shock to energy systems across the globe.
