The Past and Possible Future of EU Climate Law

This chapter links the findings of all book chapters and provides some food for thought about the next steps that the EU may or perhaps even should take to further improve climate mitigation law. It reflects upon the general lessons that can be learned from the development of EU climate law, with specific lessons for cost-effectiveness and solidarity. Insights into the broader picture of EU climate regulation are also provided by addressing overarching issues in relation to energy network regulation, multi-level governance and human rights.
