The EUKI project YESclima trains young energy experts and thus helps to reduce youth unemployment in Spain and Greece. Project leader Francisco José Sánchez of Cadiz University and project participants report on “El Mirador”.
The transport sector is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in Italy. In contrast to other sectors, emissions in the transport sector are still slightly above 1990 levels. This trend needs to be rapidly reversed, given the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions under the Paris Agreement and to mitigate the effects of climate change and global warming. The objective of this report is to show how Italy can decrease their transport emissions from a broad range of European and national measures.
Hungary has to reduce its non-ETS greenhouse gas emissions by 7% in 2030, and transport is one of the highest emitters within these non-ETS sectors. As a result, and also to comply with the EU’s long-term decarbonisation goals and the Paris agreement, Hungary must take urgent and robust action to reduce the emissions in transport. In this report for the European Climate Initiative (EUKI), T&E analyses and proposes a series of key actions that Hungary should undertake to decarbonise transport. Download PDF (1.80 MB)

Enterprise-Level GHG Reduction Initiative, Business4Climate+ in Cyprus
The project addresses the challenge of financing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction in Cyprus. It aims to develop tools which will create the necessary dynamics for building enterprise-level solutions to reduce GHG emissions. This project contributes to the climate action targets of Cyprus and supports the realisation of quantifiable GHG mitigation and the development of good climate policy conditions. Business4Climate+ is a complementary continuation of the Business4Climate programme and aims to involve enterprises in Cyprus (non-ETS (Emissions Trading System) sectors) in climate action, with a focus on the financing of energy efficiency projects. The project aims to commit more than 250 (non-ETS) enterprises from all sectors in Cyprus to reducing their GHG emissions by at least 8% by 2030. It further aims to identify the financing models that are most suitable for Cyprus, based on European experiences, and make an online tool available for use by interested enterprises. The core impacts are supported by the development of a roadmap for financing models up to 2030, with a focus on the Cypriot context. Additionally, capacity building workshops will be carried out to improve the skills of staff in the private and public banking sector. In Cyprus, there are barriers to climate financing still to be addressed. For example, the lack of attractive financing structures is one of the biggest hurdles to upscaling energy efficiency projects and therefore GHG emissions reduction projects. Banks are not encouraging energy efficiency and renewable energy measures, for instance, by offering low-cost, readily accessible loans. Government support schemes need to be reshaped in order to meet current market needs, be sector specific and address the problems faced. It is necessary to find alternative solutions to spread efficiency in energy-intensive sectors and to achieve national emission targets.

EUKI
The European Climate Initiative (EUKI):
This project is part of the European Climate Initiative (EUKI). EUKI is a project financing instrument by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU). The EUKI competition for project ideas is implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH. It is the overarching goal of the EUKI to foster climate cooperation within the European Union (EU) in order to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions.

Romania has to reduce its non-ETS greenhouse gas emissions by 2% in 2030, and transport is one of the highest emitters within these non-ETS sectors. As a result, and also to comply with the EU’s long-term decarbonisation goals and the Paris agreement, Romania must take urgent and robust action to reduce the emissions in transport. In this report for the European Climate Initiative (EUKI), T&E analyses and proposes a series of key actions that Romania should undertake to decarbonise transport.
