Beschreibung:
The development of unconventional gas extraction has led to significant declines in gas prices, recently followed by a large drop of oil prices. This is also the year which is supposed to deliver the long awaited post 2020 climate agreement. This article brings different pieces of research together, delving on both issues.

Finally, we conclude with an analysis of the interplay of natural gas and climate policy in Europe
