Purpose: In the light of the threats defined, the article emphasises the importance of new tools that can be helpful for a responsible energy policy. This is why it is so important to internalise some concepts such as taxonomy, the European Green Deal or the Bauhaus as an antidote to irreversible climate change, leading to the self-destruction of humanity, for which man has only themselves to blame. Methodology/approach: The method of the paper was based on an in-depth analysis of the European Union source documents, published on websites and in documents of the European Commission and the European Parliament. In addition, materials and information published on the websites or in the source documents of individual parliamentarians (Jerzy Buzek, MEP) and EC commissioners (Franz Timmermans) were used. The information gathered was extended through a library search and based on the library resources of several prominent Polish universities, as well as the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies. Moreover, the analysis included academic publications, websites of institutions, companies and organisations monitoring the course and energy and climate policy changes. Constraints: Adapting to climate change through the prism of activating and using innovative financial mechanisms is another challenge to which the Brussels structures must give new responsible directions based on intergenerational solidarity. The spending of money should also be based on a sustainability mechanism so that financial resources are not spent today that will have to be repaid by future generations. In the same sense, solidarity between states and between regions is necessary. Implications: Europe and Poland have a challenge, the keyword of which is reorganisation, and almost all the deadly coal- and gas-fired heating plants will be subject to it. The hope is the European Union, as it is an organisation with unlimited possibilities, and it has proven many times that it will not hesitate to use these possibilities for the benefit of future generations. Value: The current assumptions of the energy and climate policy of the European Union in terms of opportunities and threats were cited and analysed. Innovative solutions and tools for financing the development of the European Union were taken into account, including the European Green Deal, Just Transition Fund and EU ETS. Moreover, the necessity to change the way the EU thinks about itself and restructure all resources in the face of the consequences of the war in Ukraine was indicated.(original abstract)
