EU action on Energy and Climate Change (European Court of Auditors), Carmen - Hoofdinhoud

Energy and climate change are closely interlinked, since energy production - mainly from the transformation and combustion of fossil fuels - and energy use account for 79% of EU greenhouse gas emissions. As a result, effective action on energy production and its use is essential to tackle climate change. On 19 September, the European Court of Auditors published its Landscape Review of EU action on Energy and Climate Change, which will be a key basis for discussion at this event.
