This in turn requires actions, with a special focus on sectors that contribute most to theplay a part in increasing current levels of CO2 output and pollution, contributing to the implementation of the 2030 energy and climate policy framework and the Member States' Integrated National Energy and Climate Plans and preparations for the Union's mid-century and long-term climate and energy strategy.

(20) The improvement of governance on environmental, climate change and related clean energy transition matters requires an energy transition policy that changes the model of production, promoting a shift towards environmental efficiency, minimising industry's use of materials and generation of waste, as well as greenhouse gases emissions, and changing technological and energy systems so that renewable energies predominate, while at the same time necessarily reducing the consumption of material goods. It also requires the involvement of civil society by raising public awareness, consumer engagement, and broadening of stakeholder involvement, including non-governmental organisations, in consultation on and implementation of related policies.
