Abstract

This Energy and Environment Program report, A Shared Vision for Energy and Climate Change: Establishing a Common Transatlantic Agenda, finds that the two highest priority energy technologies for the Atlantic community are those involving energy efficiency and coal with carbon capture and storage. Without significant and timely progress in deploying these basic technologies on a massive scale, there is virtually no possibility of achieving emission reduction targets.

The report is a joint project of the Atlantic Council and the Clingendael International Energy Program at the Netherlands Institute for International Relations. It is the product of a series of workshops that included the business community, governmental organizations and civil society organizations from both sides of the Atlantic.
