Background Paper: How Can EU Reform Strengthen EU Climate and Energy Policies?

The EU is fundamentally important for climate and energy policies in Europe. Because of this, EU reform is always a crucial moment for climate and energy policymaking. Now, triggered by Brexit, the EU has started a process of reflection and possibly reform. The early stage of the process offers opportunities for EU climate and energy policy to contribute and to shape it.
This paper discusses how EU reform can strengthen EU climate and energy policies. It focuses on the Bratislava process.
