On 27 June 2025, the Directorate-General for Climate Action (DG CLIMA) will host a hybrid Stakeholder Consultation Event on the upcoming 2025 Innovation Fund Call for Proposals (IF25 Call).
The European Commission has launched new calls for projects under Horizon Europe's 2025 Work Programme for Cluster 5 – which groups together topics on Climate Action, Energy and Mobility.
On 20 May, the Commission announced the selection of 15 renewable hydrogen production projects for public funding across the European Economic Area. The projects are expected to produce nearly 2.2 million tonnes of renewable hydrogen over ten years.
May’s RE-CONNECT modelling workshop series focuses on the role of national policies and commitments, notably Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) and Long-Term Strategies (LTS) to bridge implementation and ambition gaps. The two interactive workshops will focus on deepening the understanding of modelling techniques – selecting and implementing national and international climate policies and targets to accelerate transition to climate neutrality.
The Commission would like to hear your views on this initiative to reflect the 'Fit for 55' outcomes in EU climate reporting templates and align them with the revised ETS Directive, Effort sharing Regulation (ESR) and Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) Regulation.
The Commission would like to hear your views on this initiative to update the rules for accreditation of verifiers used in verifying reports within the context of the revised Emissions Trading System (ETS) Directive.
The RE-CONNECT project is pleased to announce the publication of the latest Climate Change Modelling 4-Monthly Report on 'Quantitative Insights to Support a Just and Equitable Transition'. This report focuses on climate change modelling as a tool for achieving just transitions, recognising that these transitions are an integral part of the urgent global effort to reach net-zero emissions.
Energy system and integrated assessment models show that, to follow pathways compatible with the European policy target of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, large amounts of renewable electricity and H2 need to be generated, mostly by scaling-up wind and solar energy production capacity.
The authors use an ensemble of global integrated assessment models to assess CO2 emissions reduction potentials in buildings and transport, accounting for system interactions. They focus on three intervention strategies with distinct emphases: reducing or changing activity, improving technological efficiency and electrifying energy end use.
This study brings together integrated assessment models and energy system models under a common framework to develop EU policy scenarios: a Current Trends scenario reflecting existing policies and trends and a Climate Neutrality scenario aligned with the EU's emission reduction target.

The EU Green Week conference, “Circular Solutions for a Competitive EU,” will take place from 3 to 5 June 2025 in Brussels. The conference will be fully web-streamed and accessible on the day of the event via the Green Week website.
The Integrated Assessment Modeling Consortium (IAMC) announces the Eighteenth IAMC Annual Meeting to be held on November 11-13, 2025 at Hotel Atlantico Búzios, located in the city of Armação dos Búzios, state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
