Sažetak
Climate change is an international concern. European Union, under its Energy and Climate Policy, adopted goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 20%, and increasing the proportion of European energy which comes from renewable sources up to 20% by 2020. Until 2007, the development of these technologies in the EU was undertaken in a dispersed, fragmented, sometimes even competing way. The Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET- Plan) is the pillar of the EU's Energy and Climate Policy aiming at development of affordable, clean, efficient and low emission energy technologies through coordinated research. Croatian accession process towards the European Union requires meeting the main challenges as the other Member States, involving increase in energy efficiency and renewable energy use are some of the basic components of sustainable development. Funding projects in the area of ecology and energy preservation, odds and prospects for public bodies and Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency Fund involvement in financial support of the projects, additional sources of funding etc., are some of the numerous questions this paper is aiming to address.
