Governing the EU 2030 Renewables Target: What Role for Regional Governance?
Summary
- While EU Member States have agreed on a binding, EU-wide 27% renewables target for 2030, a governance mechanism for EU2030 is still to be defined.
- Lessons from polycentric climate governance can inform the current debate on a stronger role for the regional level in governing the EU2030 renewables target.
- To leverage the full potential of regional governance for EU2030, targets should be allocated to the regional level and paired with flexibility in implementation.
- In order to fully exploit learning and policy experimentation as potential key advantages of regional governance, indicators generating rich knowledge on enablers and barriers to renewables need to be defined. Regional and cross-regional information repositories and strong monitoring capacities are also required for effective regional governance.
