This strategy will address the policy aspects that will enable the Union to fulfil its obligations under the Paris Agreement and its objectives under the Energy Union.
The results of the consultation will help the EC to assess the readiness of all economic sectors, and the ambition of the general public, to move towards a low-carbon economy. The consultation aims at collecting views on (1) the type of transformations required, (2) key actions to achieve this transformation, (3) societal/economic challenges (and opportunities), (4) the role of consumers, and (5) the need for investment and innovation. It will also address technical questions on the potential of some mitigation options.
To participate in the consultation you are not obliged to fill in all questions; you can choose to reply to those that are more relevant for you. In addition, the questionnaire also offers the possibility to upload documents that contain written statements.
