Policy Brief: How to make the energy transition easier? The role of energy sufficiency in Lithuania

EUKI project CACTUS builds capacity and awareness for integrating energy sufficiency into climate and energy strategies in Lithuania and Hungary, supporting policymakers and model developers in incorporating sufficiency into energy models to advance sustainable energy transitions.

The policy brief “How to make the energy transition easier? The role of energy sufficiency in Lithuania” examines the role of sufficiency in national climate policy. It shows that current approaches focus mainly on energy efficiency and supply-side measures, while energy demand continues to grow, particularly in transport.

The brief indicates that integrating sufficiency into policy frameworks could reduce energy consumption and emissions, especially in households and transport. Strengthening demand-side measures and behavioural approaches could support a more efficient and low-carbon energy transition.
