Policies Data Base


Policies and regulations play an essential role in fostering the energy transition, as they provide the necessary framework accompanying the numerous changes in EU energy systems. This section provides a detailed assessment of the policies and regulations related to climate change in six EU countries:

  • Germany
  • France
  • the United Kingdom
  • Italy
  • Spain
  • Ireland

Three of the main sectors contributing to carbon dioxide emissions are presented: construction, transport and energy production.
You can look for policies by filtering the database (country, sector) or via the search engine.

Policy Lab

The policy lab is designed for policymakers and researchers whose work is to engage citizens, NGOs, institutions and companies in policy. Inspired by the Design Thinking methodology, this bottom-up approach helps to co-design policy recommendations with stakeholders in order to change their behaviours and have an impact in everyday life. Built as 10 steps that be taken globally or separately, this guideline is meant to be applicable to any country, any sector, with different focal points to accommodate for local circumstances.

Check out the ENTRUST Policy Toolkit and learn how become an Energy Citizen by adopting sustainable behaviours thought by citizens!
