Publications
Our Research Highlights provide a synthesis of selected policy-relevant academic publications, offering an essential resource on EU climate and sustainability governance. In this edition, explore seven new insights on biodiversity, circular economy, climate, energy and conservation policy and law.
In this policy paper, GreenDeal-NET experts put forth several options to upgrade the EU’s procedural climate governance through the review of the European Climate Law and the Governance Regulation. The upgrade aims to simplify compliance processes and increase efficiency across the board, streamlining legislative efforts and integrating public participation, judicial oversight, and scientific input.
