The European Climate Foundation has well established initiatives on Energy Systems and Governance. The main objectives of these activities are to meet the objectives of the Paris Agreement by accelerating the energy transition across Europe, and supporting the development of long term strategies and governance to plan for the transition to carbon neutral societies. With the European Clean Energy For All Europeans Package nearly closed, the focus shifts to national implementation, which includes innovative aspects like the National Energy & Climate Plans to 2030 and long-term strategies to 2050 required for every Member State. It is an opportunity the ECF and its partners in civil society relate in a structured way to these plans so they provide a basis for accelerating investments in clean energy and to increased ambition in the next years.
