This briefing “Moving Towards A Holistic Transition Planning Framework In The EU” by E3G and ECCO takes stock of the EU transition planning framework initiatives and calls for a systemic approach – moving towards a simple and holistic transition planning framework that aligns various governance systems and policy tools within the EU, while ensuring consistency with international climate goals such as the Paris Agreement. 

A strategic, well-coordinated transition planning framework would mobilise public and private finance to meet the EU’s climate targets, while also supporting the EU’s simplification agenda for greater consistency as highlighted in the new Commission’s priorities. The recommendations in this paper suggest a way to reduce complexity for market actors, enable convergence between multiple EU policy goals, and support European leadership in the international context.
