The 20-20-20 targets represent an integrated approach to climate and energy policy that aims to combat climate change, increase the EU’s energy security and strengthen its competitiveness. To date, it is uncertain whether the European Union is on track to meet its member-agreed binding target to increase the share renewable energy of final energy consumption to 20% by 2020. Although three European Union Member States (Bulgaria, Estonia, and Sweden) already reached their nationally binding 2020 targets in 2012, other countries have fallen short of their obligations, due to policy changes and lack of ambition.
