Directing EU Funds towards Climate Neutrality

Project

The project’s target group consists of representatives of national and local governments, business groups, academia, civil society organisations, and media representatives in the project countries. Project activities enable and encourage them to initiate and engage in informed debates on climate policies and EU funds. First, project members offer trainings and workshops that provide knowledge on EU funding mechanisms and their relation to climate-neutrality. Second, the project team publishes best practice reports on climate-neutral use of EU funds as well as proposals for the national Operational Programs (OPs) in the target countries. Based on these activities, the project partners disseminate their findings and knowledge across EU institutions and the European public through newsletters, online articles, and social media. Furthermore, they reach out to decision makers on European, national, and local level through personal meetings, letters, calls and presentation on events. Thus, the project team encourages them to access available and valuable knowledge and insights on climate-neutral use of EU funds and thus to contribute to implementation of the European Green Deal.
