EUKI Newsletter

Date: 04 July 2019

Dear EUKI Community,

We cordially invite you to take a look at our third EUKI Newsletter with a selection of EUKI activities in the last three months.

One highlight for us personally was certainly the participation in the International Conference on Climate Action (ICCA2019), where the EUKI presented itself and the German Environment Minister paid tribute to the work of the financing programme.

In our newsletter, you will find examples of the great work of the EUKI projects. Learn more about the connection between climate action and regional markets in Sicily, the possibilities to improve the climate impact of the next EU budget and about the tireless commitment of many young "Energy Scouts", who work towards more energy efficiency in their companies throughout Europe. You will also find an interview with Gergely Nagy, a Hungarian journalist, who researches on climate and energy issues.

Meanwhile, the EUKI continues to grow: we will make the final selection on the third round of EUKI projects shortly. We have received 114 promising applications during the Call for Project Ideas and it was not easy for us to choose the best among the numerous outstanding ideas. The applicants will now develop concrete project proposals and will soon start to fill their ideas with life.

We also invite you to take a look at our Infotheque. Here you can always find new publications and videos as well as more current news from our projects.

Yours sincerely,

Stefan Bundscherer
Director European Climate Initiative (EUKI)
