The increasing awareness on Climate Change, has put science and policymakers in front of new challenges. The EU promotes strong climate action, sustainable development and protection of the environment. EU law contains provisions addressing climate change and energy efficiency. Major initiatives directly related to Climate Change have been developed within the EU, aiming to mitigate this problem by offering a number of different approaches and solutions. This project aim at developing 3 Jean Monnet modules, at the Faculty of Economics (FE), University of Tirana (UT). Both subjects will be developed under the context of EU Integration and EU policy in the field of Climate, Energy and Fiscal Administration. The first module will be integrated within the existing course “Energy Markets” enriching the current course program with topics and case studies related to the European experience in the field of Energy. Best practices related to the implementation of renewable energy resources, and development of the EU carbon market will also be included. The second module will be integrated within the existing course “Fiscal Administration”, enriching the current course program with topics and case studies related to the European experience in green taxation, tax fairness, climate taxonomy, and welfare. The third module will be offered through an intensive specialized course entitled “Climate and Green Finance Agenda in EU”, which will be addressed to all interested students from all study programs offered at the Faculty of Economics, and possibly involve also students and professionals beyond the institution. The module will address issues related to the impact of climate change and energy-related mitigation policies on financial markets in EU. The course program will include knowledge about sustainable development, EU integration agenda on Climate Change, climate finance, “green” climate financial instruments, and sustainable financing in the EU and in Developing countries.
