What does EU climate policy need to look like to achieve the transformation to a net zero emissions economy by 2050? Tune into our podcast, Climate ON AIR: Discussing the future of EU climate policy, and learn about the four essential cross-cutting challenges on this path: fostering breakthrough INNOVATION, shifting INVESTMENT & finance, rolling out the INFRASTRUCTURE for a climate-neutral and resilient economy and, INTEGRATION of solutions across sectors. These four “I”s can make or break our chances to becoming climate neutral. Experts from different backgrounds will join in conversation to explore each of them and their relevance for EU policymaking. 

The podcast is part of the 4i-TRACTION project, financed by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme funded under grant agreement No. 1011003884.

Podcast series: Episode #5 – Integrating for Impact: Coordination and Cohesion in EU Climate Policy

What Is climate policy Integration?

The cross-cutting nature of climate change requires that climate policies are aligned across all sectors and move away from incremental policymaking practices – often characterized by ‘silo’ thinking. This ensures coherent consideration of climate policy objectives and targets, fostering synergies and complementarities among policies. To achieve this so-called mainstreaming, all branches of government and institutions must coordinate at all stages of the policymaking process. 

How do EU legal and governance frameworks contribute to climate policy integration?

In this 5th episode of CLIMATE ON AIR, we discuss with climate policy integration experts Kati Kulovesi (University of Eastern Finland, UEF) and Sebastian Oberthür (Vrije Universiteit Brussels, VUB) about  the essential role of climate policy integration on the path to the EU’s climate neutrality transition. We delve deeper into the EU’s legal and governance aspects that are necessary for successful climate policy integration, highlighting the significant role of the European Climate Law in setting a legally binding climate neutrality target, alongside the EU Governance Regulation. Our experts emphasize the importance of institutional capacity and public acceptance. They provide insights into the challenges of achieving effective policy Integration as well as recommendations for future policymaking.

Podcast series: Episode #4 – Regulatory Leverage: How Can the EU Foster a Green Investment Shift?

“CLIMATE ON AIR” – Discussing the future of EU climate policy.

The investment challenge is fundamental to mobilizing financial resources for the transformation toward climate neutrality. Every investment decision today locks us into a specific future – we must be careful about directing investment flows meaningfully. Maximizing green investments and providing predictability for economic actors need coordination at EU level and policies effectively promoting the transformation towards climate neutrality. Key policies should consider, among others, a long-term climate investment plan, securing adequate public funding and making sure the banking sector is implementing the existing regulations properly.

What policies do we need to promote climate neutral investment in support of the EU’s climate ambition?

In this 4th episode, together with investment and finance experts Julie Evain (I4CE) and Thomas Pellerin-Carlin (I4CE), we uncover the essential role of investment in climate policy by examining the EU’s role in mobilizing green investments for a resilient climate-neutral economy. We discuss how EU policies can provide predictability to economic actors and build a long-term vision towards climate neutrality.

We also explore the role of the banking sector and the use of banks’ transition plans to make sure banks consider climate related risks and direct investments properly.
