“…Certain research data such as those on behaviours, opinions and attitudes are qualitative (categorical data). Evaluating leadership effectiveness, commitment, motivation and satisfaction involve measurement based on collected opinions/judgements, and these qualitative data can be measured using quantitative scales if a simple comparison is needed [19,20]; and, depending on the observed phenomena, several different scales are possible [21].…”

Despite the rich and extensive documentation provided by European Member States and the European Commission in describing National Energy and Climates Plans and Long-Term Strategy plans, it is still very difficult to evaluate where and how the European Union as a whole has positioned itself on the path to achieving the Green Deal objectives, named the Fit 55% package in 2030 and the achievement of carbon neutrality by 2050. This research aims to fill this gap, proposing a simple but exhaustive semantic scaling methodology that allows, for the first time, a quantitative evaluation of the quality of the National Plans based on European Commission assessments to measure their compliance with the European Green Deal objectives. Results show that Member States have more clearly set the Green Deal targets than the actions to deliver against those targets. Actions, in term of nationals policies and funds administration, are still immature and partially addressed.
