ABSTRACT
The European Union (EU) has for quite some time been considered an agenda-setter in climate policy internationally. In 2007 it adopted three important climate policy aims that came to be known as the ‘20–20–20’ targets: reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 20 per cent compared to 1990 levels; increase the share of energy from renewable sources to 20 per cent; and enhance energy efficiency by 20 per cent – all to be achieved by 2020.
