This targeted analysis aims to investigate how energy policies at different governance levels can support the acceleration of clean energy transition in central Europe (CE). It should deliver new territorial evidence on the readiness and capacities of local and regional authorities for reaching climate neutrality. Furthermore, it should identify the opportunities and challenges for establishing energy transition policies within the CE territories that can be supported through transnational cooperation and tailored governance mechanisms.
