Ecological and Energy Transition(s) in Europe: A Comparative Perspective

Aurélien Evrard from the Law and Social Change laboratory, is developing this project from 2018 to 2021 with the support of the Alliance Europa Institute for European and Global Studies.

The aim is to analyse the current reshaping of environmental and energy policies in Europe, based on a comparative approach, on the one hand, and in a “multi-level” perspective, on the other hand.

This research focuses on two aspects:

  1. Is there a “European” model for environmental policy and energy transition?
  2. Comparing energy and environmental policies, in a “multi-level” approach

In 2019, the research topic was reoriented towards energy transition in cities, through a comparative approach.
