Hungary is legally bound to reach climate neutrality by 2050 (see trajectory in Figure 1), and aims to achieve a 50 % reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030 compared with 1990 levels. Hungary accounted for 1.6 % of the EU's net GHG emissions in 2023, and achieved a net emissions reduction of 32.5 % from 2005 to 2023, slightly more than the EU average reduction of 30.5 % over the same period. Emissions from sectors under the EU emissions trading system (ETS) were more than halved (-55.3 %). For the effort-sharing sectors, Hungary over-achieved its targets for 2020, and expects to deliver on the updated 2030 obligations. In August 2023, Hungary proposed a revision to its recovery and resilience plan, adding a REPowerEU chapter. Hungary submitted a draft updated national energy and climate plan (NECP) in August 2023; the European Commission assessed it and made recommendations for the final updated NECP, which was published in October 2024. In a 2023 survey, a third of Hungarians, compared with an EU average of 46 %, identified climate change to be one of the four most serious problems facing the world. Most expect business and industry (60 %) to tackle climate change, less than half consider it the task of national governments (48 %) or the EU (41 %), while only 18 % find it to be a personal responsibility.

This study first analyses the existing European security architecture, as it has emerged since World War II. It does so from an organisational perspective, looking at NATO, the OCSE and EU defence policy, as well as from a series of national country perspectives, trying to find underlying motives for national defence policies. After looking at recent policy responses to the Russian invasion of Ukraine in the pivotal years since 2022, five scenarios for a possible future European security architecture are presented and explored. These scenarios look in particular at the level of agency of EU Member States and the EU as a whole, also referred to as EU strategic autonomy, and the relationship between the EU and NATO. They also take into consideration the possible outcome of the war in Ukraine, EU-Russia relations and US foreign and defence policy. The scenarios were tested in interviews with 15 security experts. Conclusive remarks and policy considerations indicate markers for future policy actions. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP
