Climate change ‘forcing energy market re-think’

Report of a EurActiv interview with David Buchan, author of a new book ' Energy and Climate Change: Europe at the Crossroads'.

Is the EU realising its full leadership potential in the field of energy and climate change vis-à-vis the Member States? What is the value added of the EU policies compared to national initiatives and legislation? How effective is the EU in reconciling the three main (potentially conflicting) goals of the EU policy: internal market, supply security and climate change? Can market and non-market instruments be effectively blended in the policy mix for combating climate change? These and many other thought-provoking questions on the EU energy and climate policy are raised by David Buchan in his new book.
