Cycling as an Element of Urban Climate Mitigation Policy
Cycling as an Element of Urban Climate Mitigation Policy
The project has been completed. It developed strategies for five European cities with a view to boosting urban cycling and therefore improving climate protection at a local level.
Just Transition Eastern and Southern Europe
The goal of this project is to develop tailor-made transition strategies for the economic transformation of specific regions in Bulgaria (Southwest Bulgaria), Greece (Western Macedonia), and Poland (Silesia) away from coal and towards sustainable economic activities.
South East Europe Energy Transition Dialogue
The project seeks to advance progressive thinking and action about decarbonisation and national/regional energy transition strategies in SEE. Furthermore, it will develop evidence-based strategies for ensuring a successful energy transition.
Climate School Be.At – Open Societies and Schools in Climate Protection and Energy Transition
Climate School Be.At – Open Societies and Schools in Climate Protection and Energy Transition. The project has been completed. Through this project, over 1,000 school students, parents and teachers from 72 schools in Athens learned how to reduce energy consumption at their schools by at least 5%. Comprehensive training, campaigns and activities relating to energy efficiency and school refurbishments were carried out in collaboration with project partners.
Young Energy Europe
Young Energy Europe is a project with the aim to enhance climate protection measures in companies. Young professionals from a wide range of sectors will be trained to become Energy Scouts allowing them to help monitor and reduce energy consumption in their companies.
Municipalities and Schools from Seven European Countries Work Together on Climate Action
The BEACON project establishes climate action partnerships among European schools and municipalities.
This flyer by the project Young Energy Europe presents successful savings projects with Energy Scouts in Bulgaria.
Youth unemployment in southern Spain and Greece is high. At the same time, municipalities are looking for specialists in the energy sector. Numerous buildings have to be renovated and the use of solar energy promises great advantages for the coming years. The ZEW-Klima project studied the potential and feasibility of a targeted training of young job-seeking experts for locally required tasks. These could, for example, carry out energy audits at schools. Overall, the study authors estimate that climate action could create a six-figure number of jobs in Spain and Greece.
