EEA database on integrated national climate and energy policies and measures in Europe
This database contains a number of policies and measures (PaM) implemented, adopted or planned by European countries to achieve climate change mitigation and energy targets, such as reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, producing additional renewable energy, or reducing overall energy consumption. These PaMs contribute to meeting the objectives of the integrated national energy and climate plans. They were reported in 2023 (mandatory reporting year) and 2024* by European countries under the Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action Regulation and its two Implementing Regulations (EU) 2020/1208 and (EU) 2022/2299
This information is submitted through Reportnet platform where individual submissions and supporting documents, such as reporting guidelines can be accessed. The EEA compiles, checks the quality, and disseminates officially reported, annually updated, information.
The search engine gives access to detailed information for each of the single PaMs (or groups of PaMs). Countries report:
-
characteristics of the PaMs, such as their relevant dimension(s) of the Energy Union, description, objective, type, status, sectors affected, related Union Policy, entities responsible for their implementation, implementation period, etc;
-
available, quantitative information on the expected (ex-ante) and achieved (ex-post) policy effects, such as GHG emissions savings achieved by PaMs (or groups of PaMs), as well as renewable energy produced, and energy reductions delivered by energy efficiency;
-
available, the projected and realised costs and benefits of the reported individual or groups of PaMs on mitigation of climate change, renewable energy production and energy efficiency.
The data can be filtered by different parameters using the right-hand drop-down options. The values can be rearranged, counted by ‘match all’ or ‘match any’ criteria. Furthermore, the database can be searched by typing a 'search term' in the search box. Search terms in double quotes will search for exact phrases, whereas no quotes will search for any of the words written. The entire database or the selection can be downloaded as a CSV file. You'll find the download button below the database**.
The most recent analysis of the complete dataset on integrated national climate and energy policies and measures is available in the report: Overview of reported integrated national climate and energy policies and measures in Europe in 2023. For more information, check links available below the database as well as the Climate and Energy in the EU platform and Policies and measures dedicated subpage.
*Data is mostly from 2023, except for Estonia, Ireland and Sweden, who were the only countries to update their data in 2024.
**Sometimes there may be an issue with formatting when downloading CSV files. To resolve it: 1. Download and open the CSV file; 2. Go to the ‘Data’ tab; 3. Select ‘From Text/CSV’; 4. Find the downloaded file; 5. Double-check that the selections are as follows: File Origin: ‘65001: Unicode (UTF-8)’, Delimiter: ‘Comma’, Data Type Detection: ‘Based on first 200 rows’; 6.

| Austria | 8 | Modal shift in passenger and fright transport to environmentally friendly transport modes | The programme ‘klimaaktiv mobil’ for mobility management and awareness raising is an essential tool to promote environmentally friendly transport modes like public transport, cycling and walking. The cornerstones of ‘klimaaktiv mobil’ are the funding programme for businesses, communities and associations, target group-oriented counselling programmes, awareness-raising initiatives, partnerships, and training and certification initiatives. Nationwide and regional public transport tickets are established. The Federal Austrian Railway Framework Plan 2022 – 2027 is for both passenger and freight transport essential. With respect to freight transport, investment support for corporate feeder lines aims at shifting transport activities from road to rail. The Action Plan Danube until 2022 helps to maintain freight volumes on the Danube. | National | Single | Economic; Information | Implemented | ESD/ESR | Decarbonisation: GHG emissions and removals | Member State’s binding national target for greenhouse gas emissions and the annual binding national limits pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2018/842 | Transport | Transport:Modal shift to public transport or non-motorized transport | Carbon dioxide (CO2) | 926 | 675 | Ministry for Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology; Ministry of Finance | 2005 | Related | Eurovignette Directive | With existing measures | UMWELTBUNDESAMT (2023): GHG Projections and assessment of policies and measures in Austria 2023.

Data sources
The reported and quality checked datafiles on policies and measures from previous reporting, reported under the Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action Regulation and previously under the EU Greenhouse Gas Monitoring Mechanism Regulation (MMR), are available here: EEA Datahub.Deliveries for Integrated national policies and measures have been quality checked by the European Environment Agency and its European Topic Centre on Climate Change Mitigation (ETC CM).
To facilitate reporting, the EEA has developed an online reporting questionnaire, ‘Reporting Guidelines Dataflow 9 to 14: Integrated Policies and Measures under Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 on Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action Implementing Regulation 2020/1208 Annex 24 & Implementing Regulation 2022/2299 Annex 9 to 14’ and other supporting documents, available at: https://www.eionet.europa.eu/reportnet/docs/govreg/policies-and-measures
