1st EUKI Newsletter

Date: 20 December 2018

Dear EUKI community members,

We are proud to send you our first European Climate Initiative (EUKI) newsletter today.

Our projects do a great job and deliver a big amount of exciting results, which we are happy to share with you. On our recently relaunched website, you can find presentations of our projects, as well as latest publications and news.

 

In 2019, we will be glad to share further results of our projects regularly. Please help strengthening the climate community in Europe and spread the news about EUKI and our newsletters so that anyone interested can sign up.

 

On behalf of all members of our EUKI team, I send you Season's Greetings and best wishes for a peaceful, successful and happy New Year 2019!

 

Kind regards
