#2 TEN-E vs Draghi - Do we need a new framework for EU energy networks? with Catharina Sikow-Magny
The 'FSR Policy Briefcase' Season 2 episode 2 covers "TEN-E", the EU policy for planning and building cross-border energy networks, in light of the Draghi reports recommendations. In particular, it explores the TEN-E's past achievements, its current role, and potential areas for improvement. For this episode, hosts Leonardo Meeus and Emma Menegatti are joined by Catharina Sikow-Magny from the Florence School of regulation. The conversation builds on Catharina's recently published Policy Brief, "Making TEN-E into a truly European project".
The Draghi report identifies energy network investments as critical to Europe. However, the group discussed how it fails to fully acknowledge the already existing TEN-E framework in its recommendations. The discussion moreover explored the different routes for improvement including EU funding mechanisms, regional coordination, and permitting processes.

CAPABLE: How acceptability will shape the future of climate policy - Episode 1
This is the first episode of a series focused on the findings of the Horizon Europe project CAPABLE (ClimAte Policy AcceptaBiLity Economic framework). The aim of this podcast series is to provide an overview of the CAPABLE project and draw attention to some particularly relevant findings.
In this first episode, we want to give a general overview of CAPABLE, highlighting the main topics we are going to touch on, focusing on its policy impacts and contribution. The guests are Silvia Pianta and Johannes Emmerling. Johannes is a Senior Scientist at the European Institute on Economics and Environment (EIEE). He co-leads its low-carbon pathways unit and he is the scientific coordinator of the Horizon Europe project CAPABLE. His main research areas include climate change and energy economics, risk and uncertainty, and welfare economics and development. Silvia is a Scientist at EIEE and the deputy coordinator of CAPABLE. Her research focuses on environmental policy and politics. She investigates the determinants of environmental attitudes and behaviours, climate policy preferences, public attention to climate change, and the impact of environmental change on political behaviour.
CAPABLE is a research project funded by the Horizon Europe Programme under grant agreement No 101056891. It provides robust, resilient and actionable recommendations for the design of socially and economically acceptable climate policy measures for 2030 and beyond, examining experiences, policy design and implementation solutions to identify strategies that can enable a successful transition. Views and opinions expressed are those of the author(s) only and do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union.
