The European Green Deal is a strategy tool for achieving carbon neutrality and fighting climate change in the EU. The aim of the Green Deal is to turn climate challenges into an opportunity, and to support the energy transition all over Europe. Organizations working in the field of climate change, environment and energy can follow the Green Deal action plan and adapt their strategies to the Territorial Just Transition Plans, which will be produced by each EU country through the Just Transition Mechanism. |
The Just Transition Platform aims to assist EU countries and regions to unlock the support available through the Just Transition Mechanism - financial support and technical assistance which will mobilise at least €100 billion over the period 2021-2027 in the most affected regions. This platform will provide a single access point for support and knowledge related to the just transition including funding opportunities, relevant regulatory updates and sector specific initiatives. |
Resources
NESOI is a Horizon2020 project aiming to financially support the development of 60 clean energy projects on EU islands by 2023. The project finances technical assistance (not project implementation) to local authorities, with up to 60 000 EUR per grant. It further provides capacity-building and fund matching support.
The EU Cities Facility aims to build a substantial pipeline of sustainable energy investment projects across cities in the EU, by providing targeted financial, technical, legal and capacity-building support in order to help cities develop credible investment packages and mobilise finance.
