Climate and Green Policies in Central and Eastern Europe

Abstract

This panel explores how contemporary climate and green policies are designed, combined and contested across levels of governance. Contributions examine national and regional policy architectures, including comprehensive hierarchies of climate laws, strategies and instruments in Central and Eastern Europe. Overall, the panel situates climate and green policies at the intersection of environmental effectiveness, economic transformation and democratic governance, asking under what configurations of instruments, institutions and politics climate action can move from fragmented responses to coherent, just and durable transitions.
