Cross-sectoral policy integration – energy environment and transport

The importance of policy integration has become widely recognized at the global and regional levels as part of the sustainable development approach. Cross-sectoral cooperation can be defined between different segments of environmental policy, and between the environmental policy sector and various other sectors. Energy and transport are among the major driving forces that impact on sustainable development. Integration of environment into energy and transport policies is reviewed at the pan-European and the EU level. As an example, market development of alternative fuels in the EU is addressed in greater detail. Finally the challenges of cross-sectoral policy integration for Croatia are discussed.
