European Climate Neutrality Observatory (ECNO)

ECNO’s analysis shows that policies in the power sector can accelerate progress. Their impact depends on fast and effective implementation across Member States, including the measures outlined in the European Grids Package published today. Read the report climateobservatory.eu/report/2025-re…

The EU’s clean electricity shift is moving but not fast enough. The elements of the system that enable clean electricity like grids, battery storage and smart meters are still developing too slowly.

The EU’s industrial transition needs to pick up the pace. The upcoming Industrial Accelerator Act and Grids Package are a chance to bring it up to speed. Read more to understand what the EU must get right to build an industry fit for a clean energy future climateobservatory.eu/blog-can-indus…

Growth in electric vehicles and charging infrastructure is insufficient to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. ECNO’s analysis shows EU policies can decarbonise transport, boost competitiveness, and make mobility more sustainable for all. Read more: climateobservatory.eu/report/2025-re…

Progress on sustainable lifestyles in Europe is moving far too slowly, even though they are key to cutting emissions. ECNO's latest analysis shows citizens need policies that make low-carbon choices easy and affordable. Read more: climateobservatory.eu/report/2025-re…

The clean tech industry is gaining momentum. EU policies are helping firms scale up clean tech, boost competitiveness, and cut fossil fuel dependence. ECNO’s analysis shows the sector is on track to meet 2030 targets. Read more: climateobservatory.eu/report/2025-re…

Our data shows real progress but also highlights serious risks from finance gaps to critical infrastructure bottlenecks. Check out the full report and the interactive website: climateobservatory.eu/report/2025-re…

Regional disparities and rising energy poverty threaten public support to the clean transition. Citizens must be empowered and have access to affordable alternatives for a fair and prosperous EU.

ECNO’s latest progress report is here, and it’s an essential read for anyone shaping the EU’s path to climate neutrality. Here are 5 key takeaways for policy-makers and why they matter for the EU’s clean transition. Read the full report: climateobservatory.eu/report/2025-re…

ECNO’s latest climate progress tracking report warns that without coordinated planning and a long-term climate investment strategy, the EU will not resolve the risks from costly fossil fuel dependence. Read the full report: climateobservatory.eu/report/2025-re…

Infrastructure is the backbone of EU society and the clean transition. Coordinated investment supports competitiveness and supports progress towards a climate neutral economy on track.

The EU’s clean transition is being held back by slow electrification, a significant climate investment gap and aging and inadequate infrastructure. Read the full report to see how these priorities can work together to deliver a competitive EU: climateobservatory.eu/report/2025-re…

Boosting demand for cleantech is key to EU competitiveness. ECNO’s latest report recommends revising EU public procurement rules, and targeted support to cut upfront costs of buying clean products. Read more: climateobservatory.eu/report/2025-re…
