Climate Action Plan

In March 2023, the Zero Carbon Infrastructure (ZCI) project began, to help reach our targets for reducing these emissions. Financed by the Interreg Europe programme, this four-year project sets an ambitious goal to support eight cities and regions across Europe in their efforts to develop green transport and zero-carbon infrastructure for their territories.

REACHOUT is a European Commission funded research and innovation project to advance user-oriented climate services to support the implementation of the Green Deal.

The EU mission on adaptation is a new instrument from the European Commission. The mission’s goal is to support at least 150 European regions and local authorities to in becominge ready to face climate disruptions by 2030. The idea of breaking silos and, relying on a systemic approach is key to reaching the ambitious goals set by the mission.

With a 2030 target, the EU Mission "Restore our Ocean and Waters" aims to protect and restore the health of our ocean and waters through research and innovation, citizen engagement and blue investments. The Mission’s new approach will address the ocean and waters as one and play a key role in achieving climate neutrality and restoring nature.

The Cities Mission will involve local authorities, citizens, businesses, investors as well as regional and national authorities to Deliver 100 climate-neutral and smart cities by 2030 and ensure that these cities act as experimentation and innovation hubs to enable all European cities to follow suit by 2050
