The EUKI is one of many climate action funding programmes in Europe. Here we give you an overview of other possible instruments to finance your next climate action project.

We spoke with Gediminas Kondrackis from the EUKI project “Climate Change – See, Feel, Change” about his project and the climate policy situation in Lithuania and Latvia. Gediminas is the director of the project and just won the Baltic Sustainability Award.

EUKI project Cyclurban+ set up three pilot cargo bike rentals in Brno (Czech Republic), Tartu (Estonia) and Bratislava (Slovakia). The City of Tartu decided to continue running the cargo bike rental scheme after the pilot period and digitalised the system.

As part of EUKI project “CLIMASUM”, the international conference with an emphasis on the exchange of regional experiences and good practices of sustainable urban mobility, held in Ljubljana from 22 to 24 March 2023, gathered over 150 participants from 12 countries.

But the city’s planners have yet to factor in the differing patterns of mobility shown by men and women. Bratislava is a car capital. For decades, local politicians focused their attention on the […]

Within 2 years, EUKI project ‘Alpe-Adria Clean Transport Alliance’ created a network of almost 300 organisations. Together they designed a toolbox enabling local governments in the 4 regions Styria, Croatian Adriatic, Slovenia and Montenegro to optimize the future locations of EV chargers. The databases of the toolbox will be expanded to 3 more regions in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and North Macedonia. Their best practice booklet features 22 examples of good practices in fostering the decarbonization of the road transport in Austria, Croatia and Slovenia.
