<p>The National Energy and Climate (ENCP) Plan is a ten-year integrated document mandated by the European Union to each of its member states in order for the EU to meet its overall greenhouse gases emissions targets.  The Energy and Climate Plan addresses all five dimensions of the EU Energy Union: decarbonisation, energy efficiency, energy security, internal energy markets and research, innovation and competitiveness. It was approved by Council of Ministers' resolution 53/2020.The plan establishes the following objectives : 1) to limit the GHG emissions, to build a strategy based on renewable sources of energy on the path to a carbon neutral economy (electrification of the economy and consumption, promote electric vehicles,introduce of renewable gases); 2) Rehabilitating and making buildings more efficient, to promote active and shared mobility, reinforce public transport and electric mobility ; 3) to diversificate energy sources by the development of endogenous renewable energy resources; 4) to promote interconnectivity in energy markets and systems; 5) to invest in public and private research, innovation and competitiveness.</p>

A set of principles, processes, and practices that build economic and political power to shift from an extractive economy to a regenerative economy.

Justice is the ethical and political framework that addresses fairness, including issues of responsibility, rights, and structural inequity.

Renewable energy means all forms of energy produced from renewable sources in a sustainable manner.

Fossil fuel is a generic term for non-renewable energy sources such as coal, fossil gas, and oil (including crude oil, and petroleum products), that can be used for electricity and heat generation. Fossil fuels are hydrocarbons formed from pressurised and heated organic material buried over millions of years.

Molecules in the atmosphere that play a key role in the greenhouse effect by trapping heat radiating from Earth’s surface.

Area of the economy in which actors engage in identical or related activities.

In human systems, the process of adjustment to actual or expected climate change and its effects, in order to moderate harm, increase resilience or exploit beneficial opportunities. In natural systems, the process of adjustment to actual climate change and its effects; human intervention may facilitate adjustment to expected climate change and its effects.
