Dear colleagues,

I would like to draw your attention to a new Special Issue on ‘EU climate and energy governance in times of crisis’, which has just been published in the Journal of European Public Policy (JEPP). All eight articles of the SI are available online open access.

The issue seeks to explore how (1) major factors underlying the EU ‘polycrisis’ (e.g., the Euro- and migration crises) and (2) EU climate and energy governance have influenced each other. The introductory chapter presents a novel framework of five crisis trends underlying the polycrisis, which enables the analysis of the polycrisis’ interaction with EU climate and energy governance.

Most of the contributions to the SI suggest that EU climate and energy governance has advanced significantly despite, sometimes even because of, the crisis trends. Countervailing effects of the crisis trends and actors’ strategies go a long way to explaining this puzzling finding.
