Fireworks as another unnecessary source of pollution not only in times of energy and climate crisis
 Balounová, Kamila ; Novák, Adam
The energy crisis caused by the war in Ukraine has forced most European countries to look for energy sources other than oil and gas from Russia. As a result of that situation, energy sources that pollute the environment with harmful substances have often been restarted. Energy independence on Russia required not only the commissioning of these energy sources, but also deepened the economic crisis that many countries faced after the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, European countries and their residents have not yet given up on expensive fireworks shows, which release a lot of greenhouse gases and other harmful substances into the atmosphere. The contribution aims to evaluate the current issue of the use of fireworks from an environmental and economic point of view, to further evaluate the existing legislation and to outline the possibilities of limiting the use of fireworks in the Czech Republic through legal measures, with the simultaneous use of a comparison of the existing legislation in Germany, France, Luxembourg and the USA.

Is the European Union in line with the Paris Agreement? Assessment of the EU’s 2030 Climate Targets
 Balounová, Eva
As a part of the European Green Deal, the EU increases its ambitions in climate change mitigation. This contribution assesses the EU’s 2030 climate and energy framework in light of the obligations under the Paris Agreement with a focus on three main targets: the target for CO2 emissions reduction, the target for renewables, and the target for energy efficiency. The obligations under the Paris Agreement are mainly procedural, however, the Parties should aim to hold the increase in the global average to well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels and pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 °C. Also, the contributions of the Party should be progressive and reflect its highest possible ambition.
