Abstract
Policy Alignment Perspectives for a Transforming Climate Action in the EU
Highlights
By Sonia De Gregorio Hurtado, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid Over the last decades, the European Union has emerged as an international climate leader (Wurzel et al, 2010)
The EU directives have created national obligations concerning this policy field but in a few cases, the strategies and plans passed in the different Member States (MS) have involved policy obligations for cities
In general, the national level pursues climate international and EU goals highly determined by its policy priorities, funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the Cohesion Fund (CF), cities are implementing mitigation and adaptation measures through specific climate strategies, or in an indirect way through sectoral plans and measures highly determined by other policy fields that face urgent pressing risks or that fall within more “mature” policy fields
Summary
By Sonia De Gregorio Hurtado, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid Over the last decades, the European Union has emerged as an international climate leader (Wurzel et al, 2010). These vectors of Europeanization explain the general similar approach with which cities in different countries, with highly different vulnerabilities and public policy traditions, are acting to mitigate and to adapt to climate change in the EU.
