There are particularly strong interlinkages between energy policy and climate policy as the major part of greenhouse gas emissions is related to energy supply and use. In this paper we initially compile a set of seven indicators for assessing climate policy integration (political commitment, actors, functional overlap, time perspective, weighting and resources, policy instruments, and emission impact). We then apply the criteria for an appraisal of climate policy integration in EU energy policy during the last decade, i.e., we focus on CPI from a horizontal perspective. The focus of our research lies on strategic energy policy documents, on the one hand, and on the comparison of four key energy policy documents in the context of the 2016 Winter Package to existing legislation, on the other. Our results show that mitigation of climate change is a key objective in all energy policy documents analysed. Furthermore, EU legislative processes ensure a comprehensive involvement of all stakeholders. The energy policy objectives regarding renewable energy and energy efficiency are synergetic and reinforcing with climate policy. It has to be noted, however, that other energy policy documents, like the Energy Security Strategy, contain conflicting issues and the proposed recasts of existing legislation reduce preferential treatment for renewables.","onlinedate":"2018-02-01 12:00:00","lang":"English","publication_series":"","publication_date":"20180101","publication_date_year":"","publication_date_full":false,"publication_num_pages":"30","keywords":"[\"European Union\",\"climate policy\",\"climate policy integration\",\"energy policy\"]","jelcodes":"[\"K32\",\"Q48\",\"Q54\",\"Q58\"]","related_publications":"[]","pdf":371837,"zip":null,"link":"","monthly_report":true,"monthly_report_main":false,"monthly_report_volume":"","monthly_report_pages":"","monthly_report_pages_sort":"0","issue":"551","journal":"WIFO Working Papers","publisher":"","invisible":false,"external":false,"embargo_date":"2018-02-01 12:00:00","types":[44410],"research_groups":[3655],"collaboration":"","persons":[3652,3659],"persons_data":"[{\"personId\":3652,\"personName\":\"Claudia Kettner-Marx\",\"organisationNames\":[]},{\"personId\":3659,\"personName\":\"Daniela Kletzan-Slamanig\",\"organisationNames\":[]}]","clients":[10660],"subclients":[],"partners":[],"topics":[],"host_publication_title":"","host_publication_subtitle":"","place_of_publication":"","host_publication_editors":"[]","type_description":"","output_media":"","chapter":"","article_number":"","scientific_assistance":"[]","scientific_review":"[]","version":"","release_date":null,"expiration_date":null,"surveyor":"","research_assistance":"","edv":"","additional_info_de":"","additional_info_en":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
