Climate change mitigation and the role of technological change: Impact on selected headline targets of Europe's 2020 climate and energy package

The European Union launched a set of policies as part of its 2020 climate and energy package aimed at meeting its 20/20/20 headline targets for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. This paper evaluates how successful new-to-the-market climate change mitigation technologies (CCMT) are in helping...
