Regional and Global Linkages in the Energy-Climate-Development Policy Nexus: The Case of Biofuels in the EU Renewable Energy Directive

The document examines the EU Renewable Energy Directive's biofuels components, finding that the design of sustainability criteria prioritizes internal EU market and technology goals over global energy markets and international development objectives.

• The design and implementation of the sustainability criteria within the Renewable Energy Directive have a divergent effect on regional versus global goals: they strengthen internal EU market and technology objectives but weaken the Directive's potential impact on international development objectives and global energy markets.
