The energy crisis that the EU has been facing since early 2022 – as well as the policy responses to that crisis – can have a significant impact on the EU’s transition towards climate neutrality. The European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change assessed different types of possible response measures, and provides recommendations on how both the energy and the climate crisis can be tackled simultaneously. With this advice, it aims to support decision makers in the EU on the choices they have to make to address the effects of the current energy crisis.
