Summary: This paper assesses the steps taken and planned by the EU to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. The focus is on the actual implementation of renewable energy sources (RES) in total energy production in individual countries and the analysis of previously set RES penetration goals. The evaluation also considers the planned shutdown of traditional combustion sources and the impact on the stability of the energy system. The shift away from coal power plants and the intermittent electricity generation of renewable sources within the EU are evaluated, along with the historical dynamics of RES production capacities installation.

Summary: The demand for clean energy is a crucial global issue that requires local actions to implement global ideas. Analyzing eight indicators for the EU-28 and Poland between 2010 and 2018, it was found that the progress in modifying the energy mix towards sustainable development goals showed improvement in both regions, with the EU-28 showing a higher aggregated indicator compared to Poland. Despite Poland's main reliance on coal and lignite, the noticeable increase in renewable energy sources, including biomass, gives hope for progress towards sustainability and improved environmental standards.

Summary: This article investigates whether changes in domestic policy strategies of leading member states in European climate policy preceded the observed changes in EU policy. Disaggregating strategic change into different elements, it finds that shifts in national strategies preceded the shift in EU policy. Countries reframed their understanding of supply security, and pushed for the internal electricity market as a security measure to balance fluctuating renewables.

Summary: The study evaluated three Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) and found discrepancies in their predictions related to historical data and future scenarios. It was noted that mitigation technology failures varied greatly among the IAMs, suggesting the need for a more thorough examination of their projections. Recommendations included improving the availability of comprehensive model output for further analysis, ensuring consistent comparative scenarios for assessment, and conducting detailed inter-model comparisons for deeper insights into model credibility.

Summary: This study investigates the forecasting ability of the Climate Policy Uncertainty (CPU) index on the global renewable energy market returns. It shows that CPU is an excellent positive predictor of the returns of the renewable energy market, outperforming other predictors. The study also finds that a higher CPU index has a stronger predictive ability, especially after the Paris agreement. Additionally, the predictive power of CPU index enhances the economic gain on asset allocation.

Summary: The EU legislators have made the 'energy efficiency first' principle legally binding for Member States in policy, planning, and major investment decisions. This article conducts a discourse analysis to explore the politics of the EE1 principle in EU energy and climate policy. Two distinct discourses with different storylines were identified, one focusing on the multiple benefits of energy efficiency and a stronger role for the EE1 principle, and the other focusing on climate change mitigation and a weaker role for EE1. The use of discursive techniques helped overcome these dualities and can assist policymakers in shaping future strategies.
