The European Commission鈥檚 on a 2030 framework for climate and energy policies, published on 27 March 2013, launched a consultation on a series of questions about the future of EU climate and energy policies, including the priorities for an EU-wide framework and the need for supporting targets for 2030. The UK responded to this consultation on 5 July 2013.

Edward Davey, UK Secretary of State for Energy, spoke at a Green Growth Summit in Brussels on 28 October 2013 to support the ongoing policy discussions around the EU 2030 framework. At this summit, Edward Davey launched the publication of a pamphlet 鈥楪oing for Green Growth鈥� and also presented UK analysis of EU 2030 target options.

The UK analysis takes as a starting point the , where the Council reiterated its commitment to limit global warming to below 2掳C. Academics have identified a range of different approaches to allocating the mitigation effort between countries to meet a below 2掳C goal. The UK analysis models different global effort sharing approaches and explains what level of reductions this suggests the EU must make in 2030noting that these do not necessarily represent the UK or EU鈥檚 preferred approach.

This document is intended to provide a contribution to the policy debate on the EU 2030 framework for climate and energy policies. We look forward to other contributions from other stakeholders.
