Abstract

The European Union has deployed a leadership strategy in the international regime on climate change, based on the credibility of the development of its internal climate policy. The negotiating position was parallel to the development of horizontal European policies that pursued ambitious climate objectives, while designed a low-carbon and competitive economy. In this context, the EU climate & energy package has been the main contribution of the European Union to the development of the international regime on climate change, on the one hand, these rules have provided content to the European obligations of the second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol, and the Paris Agreement; on the other, have served as a model for designing national policies with significant objectives of climate change mitigation.
