The proposed European Climate Resilience Law does not regulate companies directly. It does set a shared warming path, name who owns major climate risks, and push that path into budgeting, spatial planning, and environmental assessment. That is where permits, public buyers, and insurers will meet corporate assets.
Over 50 European scholars warn that the Commission's 'simplification' push risks normalizing emergency lawmaking that undermines EU Treaty-based safeguards on participatory democracy, transparency, and the rule of law.
Working paper argues that 'simplicity by design' can only reduce bureaucracy if operationalised through outcome-first lawmaking, balanced democratic participation, disciplined use of exemptions, and mandatory ex post evaluation.
Call for evidence / participants: The European Commission's Better Regulation consultation is open until February 4, 2026. Join our working group to provide coordinated, evidence-based feedback.
