dc.description.abstractThe UK’s transformation into a low-carbon economy has reached the halfway point. However, the next stage of the decarbonisation process will require socially unpopular actions to be taken more often than before. Against this background, British political parties published election manifestos before the general election in 2024. The analysis of these documents allows us not only to understand the parties’ priorities in the energy and climate policy, but also to observe the evolution of the approach to this topic in the UK. Through the analysis of election manifestos, the article aims to examine the state of consensus of major British political parties on the green transformation that has existed for almost two decades. The research results shed light on the importance of public participation in designing political programmes in the area of energy and climate, which is also significant in the context of challenges related to Polish and European energy and climate transformation.en
dc.description.abstractBrytyjska transformacja w kierunku gospodarki niskoemisyjnej osiągnęła półmetek. Kolejny etap dekarbonizacji będzie jednak wymagał częstszego niż dotychczas podejmowania niepopularnych społecznie działań. Na tym tle brytyjskie partie polityczne opublikowały manifesty programowe przed wyborami parlamentarnymi w 2024 r. Analiza tych dokumentów pozwala nie tylko zrozumieć priorytety ugrupowań w polityce energetyczno-klimatycznej, lecz także zaobserwować ewolucję podejścia do tej tematyki w Wielkiej Brytanii. Poprzez analizę manifestów wyborczych artykuł ma na celu zbadanie stanu istniejącego od niemal dwóch dekad konsensusu głównych brytyjskich partii politycznych w sprawie zielonej transformacji. Wyniki badań rzucają światło na temat znaczenia udziału społeczeństwa w projektowaniu programów politycznych w obszarze energii i klimatu, co jest istotne także w kontekście wyzwań związanych z polską i europejską transformacją energetyczno-klimatyczną.pl
