Healthy peatlands can even be the most space-efficient long-term carbon store. Nevertheless, they remain heavily degraded. 🤝 This is why EUKI project "Building a European Peatlands Initiative" establishes an alliance of national governments and other stakeholders to collectively conserve and restore peatlands in Europe. In his article "Reviving Europe's Lungs" Martin Vallejo explores the efforts underway to protect and restore these vital ecosystems. The article highlights the challenges and opportunities of fostering institutional collaboration, improving data, and raising awareness across the continent. Despite challenges in governance, data gaps, and funding, momentum is growing through workshops, cross-country policy strategies, and awareness campaigns like #PeatlandMatters. The goal? A well-structured European Peatland Initiative with robust policies and permanent support by 2034. 👉 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲: https://lnkd.in/g7THaXvv Eurosite - the European Land Conservation Network CEEweb for Biodiversity #PeatlandConservation #ClimateAction #SustainableFarming #Biodiversity #EnvironmentalStewardship #EUKI #EUKIProject #BuildingaEuropeanPeatlandsAlliance

On 5 November 2024, the EUKI Academy hosted a web seminar to discuss how the main instrument European Green Deal (EGD) can address remaining gaps to achieve the EU climate targets. Experts shared insights on how Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) is making progress in the energy transition, supported by EU initiatives such as the EGD and Just Transition Mechanism. 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲: 🔸Pieter de Pous from E3G discussed CEE’s momentum under the EGD, noting achievements in renewables and the phase-out of fossil fuels. He emphasised that energy infrastructure needs urgent upgrades to meet EU targets. 🔸Michał Smoleń from Poland’s Instrat Foundation highlighted the importance of local solutions. With ambitious goals ahead, Poland and other CEE countries must focus on expanding smart grids, speeding up renewable permits, and engaging communities in the energy transition. 🔸Gheorghe Visan, Grids Expert from Romania, pointed to the need for cross-border collaborations on projects like the Romanian energy grid upgrade - an essential step for stability as renewables rise. To reach EU climate goals, panellists stressed the importance of a just transition for coal-dependent regions, balancing economic competitiveness with climate policy. A transparent, inclusive approach is crucial for building public trust and achieving a net-positive future for all. 📖 Read the full report here 👉 https://lnkd.in/evrWPiAW The web seminar was organised in partnership with E3G and CEE Bankwatch Network.

🏛️ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗘𝗘? Public buildings across Europe need urgent upgrades to cut emissions. Yet in Bulgaria, Croatia, Poland, and Romania many renovation projects still fall short. Why? Common barriers like inadequate regulation, limited technical expertise, and weak monitoring stand in the way. The latest publication of EUKI project #OURCEE tackles these challenges. The report explores how each country can overcome obstacles to achieve efficient, sustainable renovations. From refining policies to boosting technical support, this publication offers actionable solutions tailored to each country’s needs. 🌱 By addressing these issues, public buildings can become powerful assets in the fight against climate change—cutting energy use, reducing emissions, and creating more resilient communities across Europe. Discover how these strategies can unlock the full potential of public buildings and help shape a greener, stronger Europe.
