Effects of European Union's green energy transition policies and its implications for China
Since von der Leyen took office as President of the European Commission in December 2019,the EU has placed green energy transition in a more prominent position,trying to accelerate the progress of energy transition from such three dimensions as improving the goal of green transition,reducing dependence on Russian fossil energy as soon as possible,and maintaining the advantages of green industry.The outbreak of the Ukraine issue in 2022 has become an important moment to examine the effectiveness of the EU's green energy transition,and the ensuing energy crisis shows that the EU has not effectively deal with the risks from the supply disruption of fossil fuels in the perspective of development and utilization of green energy as an energy importer.Moreover,member countries have not reach the same on energy use way and industry policies,reflecting the EU still faces the challenges for accelerating the energy transition towards energy independence and consolidating global leadership in climate and energy governance.The EU's green energy transition also has an enlightening significance for China's green development,which means there are still needs to ensure a diversified supply of traditional energy in the process of transition and improve the relevant incentive mechanism as well as promote the development of green partnership.
