A teachers’ training for kindergartens took place in Sofia, Bulgaria as part of the BEACON project.

The Green Deal calls for new means to build energy efficient and low carbon economies. ALLIES and two other EUKI projects jointly invite practitioners, protagonists and policy makers to share their experiences, to learn about new tools to implement climate plans and to build new partnerships.

Experience from Germany, Bulgaria and Poland shows that it is possible to reach 2-4 percent energy savings per year by implementing simple behavioural energy efficiency measures in schools. This can add up to 10-15 percent per year depending on the local context. How can these projects be introduced? What other benefits do they offer beyond energy savings? What key institutions and persons are needed to establish long-lasting structures?

The 5th webseminar of the EUKI Academy on 29 January 2020 approaches the topic of the European Green Deal. Mateja Kahmann (German Federal Ministry for the Environment) and Klaus Roehrig (CAN Europe) will present key points and answer questions from the EUKI Community.
