In Europe, this transition implies a profound change in the way we produce and consume energy, by favouring renewable energy sources and improving energy efficiency.
The European Union is committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030 and to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. To reach these ambitious goals, a number of initiatives and directives have been put in place, such as the Green Pact for Europe and the Renewable Energy Directive.
Today, the energy transition presents a number of legal challenges, particularly in terms of regulation (which is often complex and changing), environmental protection, litigation management and the structuring of financing arrangements.
The legal profession, and lawyers in particular, plays a crucial role in this process, assisting companies, institutions and local authorities with the legal and regulatory aspects of this transformation.
