In 2018, the European Union, along with many countries on the European continent, announced a pledge to reach Net Zero by 2050. Legislative measures across the region, such as the UK's Build Back Greener strategy, various National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs) across the Western Balkans, and the EU's European Green Deal’, aim to align Europe with its climate-neutral ambitions while sustaining economic growth and social cohesion. But there is still a long way to go, particularly, in the energy sector which makes up the biggest polluter of the European bloc’s economy. How can we bridge the difference between 2030 targets and the 2050 benchmark? What programs and funds will be necessary to minimize inter-region disparities and ensure a just energy transition? What are the key innovations necessary for climate neutrality? What sectors or industries are we most struggling to make green? And, what will be the role of public-private partnerships, and multilateral collaboration in brokering climate diplomacy and financing to fulfill European goals?
