Clean Energy working group

ENERGICA aims to showcase the efficient implementation of renewable energy technologies to match local energy needs.

In this success story the project demonstrates the implementation of Africa’s first electric service station, offering a holistic and hassle-free riding experience to electric motorcycle users.

Clean Energy working group

In a research pilot, the HYPERGRYD project demonstrated a revolutionary data collection strategy using internet of things (IoT), to greatly enhance the availability of smart grid data throughout the energy system.

The learnings from this approach can be implemented in other data-intensive integrated networks of smart energy districts.

Climate Change and Biodiversity working group

REST-COAST has successfully implemented a nature-based nourishment technique in the Ebro Delta, Spain, demonstrating the real potential of the methodology to restore similar coastal systems.

In this success story the project has demonstrated the transferability of its nature-based solution by extending sand dune nourishment to other Mediterranean beaches.

Climate Change and Biodiversity working group

Project LOCALISED introduced a set of potential indicators for assessing risks and vulnerabilities to Climate Change within both Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plans (SECAPs) frameworks at once.

This output will save time and effort for users, support monitoring for assessment and enable standardisation for benchmarking and comparison.

Food and Health working group

ZeroPM is taking the lead against environmental pollution by persistent and mobile substances.

Through innovation and collaboration, it paves the way for a toxic-free future, in line with the European Green Deal. Its holistic approach shines as a beacon in the global battle against forever chemicals.

Food and Health working group

In this success story the Agro2Circular project is accelerating the upcycling of agri-food wastes through innovative ways to increase their value.

The process and products will be completely traceable through an innovative ICT platform that functions as a predictive tool for supporting decisions.

Knowledge and Citizens working group

SOCIO-BEE tackles urban air pollution by engaging communities and citizen science.

Across European cities, it uses technology and interactive experiences to raise environmental awareness and spur action. Its successful pilots pave the way for broad community engagement, fostering healthier cities and sustainability.

Knowledge and Citizens working group

I-CHANGE actively involves citizens in environmental science, demystifying the field and making it accessible to the wider community. This strategy boosts environmental awareness and fosters sustainable lifestyles and consumption habits.

The recent Genoa Living Lab demonstrates how citizen science can engage the public in environmental monitoring, cultivating a community focused on sustainability.

• Three upcoming events for your diary
• Six working group project highlight videos
• One new report
• Two new articles
• Two webinars to catch up on

23 September, 11:00 - 12:30

Join us for a webinar which will bring together projects that put into practice innovative solutions that support the governance of the green transition within regional and municipal authorities.

At this session, the projects will share their experiences, including the challenges encountered and practical solutions developed, as they contribute to EU policy discussions ahead of the forthcoming European Week of Regions and Cities on 7-10 October.

The Pact is inviting everyone to vote for their favourite climate action photo and caption from 16 July to 9 August.

The European Climate Pact’s photo competition aims to shine a light on climate change and recognise the climate action being taken around us. Each photo has the potential to inspire more creative ways to take climate action and drive change across Europe. By taking just a few minutes to vote for your favourite climate action photo, you are helping to encourage others to act and drive positive change.

The EU Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change supports European regions, cities and local authorities in their efforts to build resilience against the impacts of climate change. It aims to support at least 150 European regions and communities towards climate resilience by 2030.

Download their Activity Report to learn more about their different activities, including the latest stories, project updates, and insights highlighting the Mission's collective efforts in preparing for the impacts of climate change.
