Ядрената енергия е нисковъглеродна алтернатива на изкопаемите горива и съставлява около 25 % от електрическата енергия, произвеждана в Европейския съюз (ЕС). При все това, вследствие на аварията в Чернобил през 1986 г. и бедствието във Фукушима, Япония, през 2011 г., ядрената енергия се превърна в изключително спорна тема. Държавите членки могат да решат дали да включат ядрената енергия в своя енергиен микс, а законодателството на ЕС цели да подобри стандартите за безопасност на атомните електроцентрали ...

The circular economy aims to break away from the traditional linear 'take make use dispose' model by keeping resources in circulation for as long as possible. Its goal is twofold: to lower environmental pressures and increase economic resilience by reducing reliance on virgin materials and unstable global supply chains. Against this backdrop, the planned circular economy act (CEA) must address several structural challenges currently at the centre of the EU policy debate.

Европейският съюз (ЕС) е сред водещите значими икономики по отношение на справянето с емисиите на парникови газове. През 2020 г. емисиите на парникови газове в ЕС бяха намалени с 31 % спрямо нивата от 1990 г., като беше надмината целта на ЕС за намаляване на емисиите с 20 % до 2020 година. Воден от международни договори, като например Протокола от Киото, ЕС прие много политики в областта на климата, в частност — схемата на ЕС за търговия с емисии. През 2019 г. Комисията представи Европейския зелен ...

Recent climate related disasters, health crises and security threats have highlighted the need to build a resilient Union, capable of anticipating and effectively managing future disasters and crises based on an all hazards approach. More comprehensive and integrated crisis management, requiring close and efficient cooperation between the EU and Member States, is essential for addressing complex and long lasting crises impacting several sectors simultaneously. To this end, and as part of the proposed ...

Starting in 2026, the EU will address the future of the European emissions trading system (EU ETS). The existing ETS (ETS1) aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from industrial and energy installations, aircraft operators and maritime transport by setting a price on carbon through a cap-and-trade system, while a separate ETS for road transport, buildings and other sectors (ETS2) will start operating in 2028. The ETS1 succeeded in reducing the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of the covered sectors ...

The Commission is proposing to revise the market stability reserve for the buildings, road transport and additional sectors covered by the EU emissions trading system. The targeted amendments aim to reinforce the capacity of the reserve to intervene if the price of carbon escalates in these sectors.

This is the tenth edition of an annual EPRS paper aimed at identifying and framing many of the key issues and policy areas that will feature prominently in public debate and on the political agenda of the European Union over the coming year. The topics analysed encompass, the next long term EU budget, Ukraine's integration into the EU, defence, EU-China relations, the impact of artificial intelligence on the web, the potential of startup companies, irregular migration, climate policy, action for ...

Възобновяемите енергийни източници, като вятърната, слънчевата и водноелектрическата енергия, океанската и геотермалната енергия, биомасата и биогоривата, предлагат по-чисти алтернативи на изкопаемите горива. Те намаляват замърсяването, разширяват нашите енергийни възможности и намаляват зависимостта ни от нестабилни цени на изкопаемите горива. През 2023 г. законодателите увеличиха целта на Европейския съюз (ЕС) за дела на възобновяемите енергийни източници в брутното потребление на енергия от 32 ...

This study examines housing needs across the EU, focusing on inequalities in affordability, accessibility, and quality. It provides a mapping of the current housing needs in the EU across territories, including across Member States, rural and urban areas, outermost regions, and islands and across population groups. The study analyses key factors affecting housing demand and supply challenges, and the impacts of housing scarcity on health, education and employment. It also reviews how EU legislation ...
