Climate action in the European Union is a diverse challenge. The financing of the European Climate Initiative (EUKI ) therefore also covers a wide range of sectors. Altogether, the EUKI finances climate action projects in eight core areas: climate policy, energy, building and municipalities, mobility, agriculture, soils and forestries, awareness, climate aligned finance, sustainable economy.
In late 2019, the European Union set itself the ambitious long-term target of becoming climate-neutral by 2050. One year later, the interim target for 2030 has also been raised to at least 55 percent greenhouse gas reduction. Thereby the EU renewed its commitment to the Paris Agreement on climate change, in which the community of states decided on to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius – if possible to 1.5 degrees. The target definition was followed by the debate on introducing instruments to implement the new targets. Everyone will have to get involved, from national level down to regions, municipalities and civil society, to achieve a successful cross-border and cross-sectoral transformation.
And this is where EUKI projects come in: they bring together those in politics, academia and civil society. Some projects are setting up networks for direct exchange, while others are disseminating information on successful EU Member State measures on climate policy. What all the EUKI projects have in common is that civil society stakeholders in member countries are committed to driving the climate change agenda while also promoting cohesion and dialogue within the EU
