"This outlook offers a timely and insightful exploration of Europe's energy transition, a process that lies at the heart of today's environmental, economic, and political debates. It examines the diverse commitments undertaken by European countries as they navigate the challenges of decarbonization and the shift to sustainable energy systems. By analyzing both the policy frameworks and the concrete instruments adopted to reach ambitious climate and energy goals, the book sheds light on the strategies shaping the continent's future. A particular emphasis is placed on the role of public investment, highlighting how state action can catalyze innovation, support infrastructure, and bridge gaps where market forces alone may fall short. Through this lens, the volume not only evaluates existing practices but also considers the broader implications for governance, equity, and long-term resilience. Written with clarity and rigor, the outlook will be of interest to policymakers, scholars, and practitioners seeking to understand the dynamics of Europe's green transition. It invites readers to consider the balance between national priorities and collective European objectives, offering valuable insights into how commitments translate into action-and how public investment can be a decisive lever for change."--Publisher's website.
