We have developed a methodology to assess National Energy and Climate Plans for a just transition. Here, we share our findings based on the updated plans published from four European countries.<\/h3>\n

As part of our project with the BlueLink Foundation, ECCO, and the Ecologic Institute, we aimed to improve the public consultations required for National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs).<\/p>\n

We developed a methodology to evaluate how well the just transition aspects were addressed in the updated NECPs.<\/p>\n

Most countries submitted their NECPs with a significant delay. Preliminary versions of the NECPs were due by the end of June 2023, but none of the countries we analysed met the deadline. For example, Germany submitted their plan in November 2023.<\/p>\n

We have published our analysis of the preliminary plans for Germany, Bulgaria, Italy and Poland in spring 2024 and have noted several shortcomings. All evaluated drafts of the updated NECPs inadequately address the territorial dimensions of a just transition, largely overlooking the most affected territories. In terms of distributional aspects, the plans fail to adequately acknowledge vulnerable consumers, aging populations, the role of women, and low-income households. Furthermore, there is a notable deficiency in information regarding the financing of policy measures and potential funding sources. Among these issues, energy poverty is the only aspect that has received significant attention. These studies can be found on our website at the following link<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The final versions of the documents were due by June 30, 2024. Several countries presented updated plans, but apart from Italy, none of them met the deadline again. Poland only reeased its plan in October 2024. As part of our review, we will assess whether European governments have considered feedback from public consultations. We will also check whether the European Commission’s recommendations were included.<\/p>\n

With the final NECPs now available, we are able to compare earlier analyses and recommendations with the final results and we will gradually be posting our reports. The assesment report for the Italian NECP in English and Italian, Bulgarian NECP in English and Bulgrian as well as the report for the German and Polish NECPs in English are available below. The report for the Polish NECP is available in Polish.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Furthermore, we have prepared a policy brief with recommendations for the EU institutions regarding just and fair transtion governance. The brief is available below.<\/p>\n

On the 6th of February 2025, Reform Institute has held a webinar titled “European governance for Just and Fair Transition: reflecting on the NECP revision process and looking ahead\u201d. Presentation and the summary of the event are both available below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1208,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"tags":[],"obszar-tematyczny":[],"priorytet":[],"rodzaj-dokumentu":[84],"class_list":["post-1213","publikacja","type-publikacja","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","rodzaj-dokumentu-reform-institute-report"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nAssessing the inclusion of a just transition in the National Energy and Climate Plans \u2013 what has changed? - Instytut Reform<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/ireform.eu\/en\/publikacja\/assessing-the-inclusion-of-a-just-transition-in-the-national-energy-and-climate-plans-what-has-changed\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Assessing the inclusion of a just transition in the National Energy and Climate Plans \u2013 what has changed? - Instytut Reform\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"We have developed a methodology to assess National Energy and Climate Plans for a just transition.
