Legislative Dynamics of Mitigation and Adaptation Framework Policies in the EU

Abstract: In this study we examine the adoption of climate framework laws in 20 member states of the European Union (EU) from 1990 until 2015. Our analysis is guided by the following research questions: First, which EU member states have adopted climate change legislation that addresses mitigation, adaptation, or both? Second, do EU countries act coherently or do we observe differences across countries regarding the response strategy or point in time of policies directed towards climate change? Third, comparing mitigati… Show more

“…El debate institucional abarca la evolución jurídica sustantiva y procesal de las instituciones normativas -como las del régimen climático internacional, en general, y los órganos de derechos humanos, en particular (Meron, 1982). En este sentido, los debates conllevan descripciones de cómo las normas relacionadas con el clima se infiltran en el ámbito de competencias de organismos nacionales, regionales e internacionales de derechos humanos (Tosun, 2018), con capacidad y legitimidad para proponer normas de conducta (Fleig et al, 2017;Novak, 2020), desde los defensores del pueblo nacionales hasta el Consejo de Derechos Humanos de las Naciones Unidas (Ramcharan, 2015). Dentro de la propuesta de gobernanza policéntrica (Cole, 2011), las instituciones judiciales y cuasi judiciales también han sido el centro de atención.…”

“…23 Only 27 per cent of reported national actions are not directly related to a specific EU policy or legislation. 24 However, since MS have adopted climate mitigation policies and legislation of varied ambition, taking advantage of the flexibility of EU policy and of binding instruments on mitigation (directives), as well as of the autonomy of MS in the energy field (i.e., subsidiarity and sovereignty clause), some delays in adopting mitigation measures as well as implementation variances across MS occurred (Fleig et al 2017). 25 Thus, EU mitigation policies do not convey such a coherent, homogeneous, and ambitious approach as one would have expected, for instance, based on the EU's climate change leadership aspiration (Gupta and Ringius 2001;Massey et al 2014;Parker and Karlsson 2010;Rayner and Jordan 2016).…”

“…The EU initiative on adaptation (2013 EU Adaptation Strategy, followed by the new 2021 Strategy) only encourages MS, regional, and local levels to take action, rather than mandating it, as the EU lacks formal authority in a variety of areas related to adaptation (Fleig et al 2017). 34 Thus, cooperation among MS and coordination with the EU play a prominent role.…”
