Decarbonisation in Bulgaria: legal and market signals for the climate transition

Bulgaria’s route to climate neutrality is being recalibrated by an expanding body of EU-driven legislation, including the Fit for 55 package and the European Climate Law. In her contribution to SeeNext’s comprehensive report, Katerina Novakova analyses the national legislative backbone underpinning Bulgaria’s decarbonisation efforts, including recent amendments to the Bulgarian climate change legislation and the expansion of the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS and ETS2). Her analysis brings to light  the practical implications for market participants, the increasing compliance challenges faced by energy-intensive sectors and the emerging strategic opportunities tied to long-term EU funding instruments and streamlined permitting regimes.

The publication offers a wealth of legal and policy insights into how Bulgaria’s climate commitments are translating into binding obligations for businesses, how carbon pricing reshapes competitiveness and where legislative gaps continue to undermine investor confidence.
