EEA database on integrated national climate and energy policies and measures in Europe
This database contains policies and measures (PaMs) 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 (NECPs). They were reported in 2025 (mandatory reporting year) 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 the Reportnet platform where submissions by European countries 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 the following:
-
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;
-
Where available, quantitative information on projected (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;
-
Where 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 2025. For more information, check the links available below the database as well as the Climate and Energy in the EU platform and EEA's Policies and measures dedicated subpage.
*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. Click ‘Load’, and a new tab with properly formatted data will be added.
Data sources
The reported and quality checked datafiles on PaMs 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 guideline, ‘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’. This guidance and other supporting documents are available at: https://www.eionet.europa.eu/reportnet/docs/govreg/policies-and-measures
