Response to Revision of the EU’s energy security framework

13 Oct 2025

Russias invasion of Ukraine had a massive impact on the European Union (EU)s energy security, causing energy prices to double in 2022, compared to 2021. The risk of energy supply shortage in the EU, especially of gas, was avoided due to joint purchasing, coordinated demand reduction and a warm winter. Which shows solidarity in the EU in a time of crisis. In the meantime, diversification of fossil fuel supplies away from Russia became a political priority, especially for gas. Resulting in more Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) imports from the US, with the risk of building new costly dependencies that will ultimately threaten the EU energy security, especially with President Trump becoming increasingly threatening towards Europe. Instead of diversification, Strategic Perspectives interactive EU Gas Insight highlights that it is possible to phase-out Russian gas, without falling into a US LNG overdependency. In fact LNG demand could be phase-out by 2035 in the EU. A well-managed structural decline of gas is the most cost-effective and secure way to meet the EUs energy needs, while growing local clean energy production and boosting electrification. Reducing the need for fossil fuels can be enabled by a strong electrification of the economy, efficiency improvements and a massive deployment of renewable energy sources. It can contribute to making energy cheaper for households and businesses, and to improve energy security in the long term. According to our scenario, 50% of the EU economy can be electrified by 2040, with 80% of the electricity provided by renewables (wind and solar), reducing EU electricity prices by 12% by 2035 and saving up to 856 billion of fossil fuel imports between 2025 and 2040.

Response to EU vision for enhancing global climate and energy transition

11 Sept 2025

The new strategy can set concrete priorities for a new era of EU economic foreign policy. A more impactful and visible diplomatic strategy is essential at times when the US administration is retreating and other major economies or newer actors (Gulf countries, China, India, Russia and big tech) seek to establish themselves as global players. The European Union faces four main challenges: 1) Competitiveness-development nexus: It will require a concerted effort across the EU to prevent its upcoming industrial policies from getting a similarly strong reaction from countries in the Global South as the CBAM provoked. 2) Credibility: There is a risk that President von der Leyens intention to step up cooperation neither translates into additional diplomatic capacities and efforts to address climate change, nor advances the energy transition beyond some G20 countries. 3) Multilateralism: At a time when even the principles of good faith diplomacy are challenged, the EU will need new alliances involving key emerging economies to preserve key institutions and principles and deliver results. 4) EUs international relevance: In order to strengthen its visibility, impact and cooperation effectively, European leaders need to decide what relevance in the world means. Unless more concerted efforts are undertaken and result in a more joint-up economic foreign policy by the EU institutions and national governments, the European relevance to partners from the Global South will decrease. We thus propose 10 recommendations: - To prevent any protectionist or transactional perception, the EU can ensure it is concluding mutually beneficial trade and economic partnerships that also foster their sustainable development and net-zero manufacturing. - The EU can work with others on enabling conditions to attract more investments through policies, bankable projects or offtake agreements in the Global South to ensure all countries profit for manufacturing clean tech. - The EU can set the bar high with its upcoming agreement on the 90% climate target for 2040 and the 2035 goal for the EUs Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to encourage other major economies to be equally bold. - The EUs new strategy will be most impactful if economic, trade and financial policies are closely integrated and sufficiently aligned with national governments, and it reaches well beyond the G20. The Commission can set out a sophisticated engagement strategy with partners from around the world that defines the objectives and showcases the cooperation projects. - The proposal for Global Gateway/Europe still falls short of making it a financial instrument that can help deliver on this new strategy, also through mobilising private finance. It is vital for the EUs reputation as a credible and reliable partner that Global South countries have an overview of what Team Europe supports. - The EU can demonstrate that multilateralism is still very relevant for the defence of European interests and prosperity by engaging strongly and visibly in international processes. - COP30 will inevitably show that countries are not on track for 1.5°C. The EU can work with a broad alliance of countries, businesses and civil society to make concrete proposals on how the gap to 1.5°C will be closed further. - At COP30, the EU can focus its efforts to position the Global Energy Transition Forum as the venue where the just, equitable and orderly transition away from fossil fuels, tripling of renewables and doubling of energy efficiency will be advanced. -The EU bilateral summits and trade negotiations planned this year are a chance to put the new strategy into practice already by developing concrete cooperation projects and quality benchmarks (i.e. on fossil fuel phase out) for bilateral statements. -The EU and MSs can develop a joint communication plan that showcases their bilateral relations, multilateral efforts, and domestic progress on the transition to climate neutrality.
