Sažetak
Accelerating the transition to a low-carbon economy is an urgent need in the fight against global climate change. However, there is a lack of knowledge about a low-carbon economy that takes care to keep consumption of energy and other resources, as well as emissions and pollution, at low levels. The European Union is a world leader in combating climate change ; but at the same time, it is still one of the largest emitters of greenhouse gasses. This paper aims to review the efforts of the European Union to make the transition to a low-carbon economy efficient and effective. In particular, the paper focuses on the role of energy policy in promoting efficient energy use, increasing renewable energy use and energy independence. Drawing on this overview, the paper identifies the challenges facing the European energy sector in the transition to a low- carbon economy.
