Coherent or Inconsistent? Assessing Energy Security and Climate Policy Interaction within the European Union

This research paper examines the coherence between climate change mitigation and energy security policies within the European Union, specifically focusing on the residential, industry, and power sectors.

• The assessment of interactions between EU climate change mitigation and energy security policies reveals general coherence across several policy subfields, although certain interactions still necessitate attention from policy-makers.
• The level of coherence between these policies is influenced by external drivers, such as global gas markets, and the implementation of ancillary policy measures.
• The future interaction between energy policy and climate mitigation depends on the framing of the energy security agenda; a coordinated European frame would enhance coherence, whereas a nationally fragmented frame would increase policy conflicts.
