As part of the expert dialogue "Second-Hand Instead of New – Calculating and Communicating CO₂ Savings Potential", taking place online on September 18 from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., the Berlin Senate Department for Mobility, Transport, Climate Protection and the Environment invited participants to explore current approaches to quantifying CO₂ savings in the context of waste prevention.
On 3 September 2025, the European Climate Neutrality Observatory presented their latest findings on EU's progress toward climate neutrality and discussed the ensuing recommendations with high-profile EU policy stakeholders, including members of the European Parliament, the European Commission and the business community.
The online webinar about the policy and private initiative landscape shaping the transition to a nature-positive economy presented the project's first key findings and products on 26 June 2025 from 11-12:00 CET.
The Directorate-General for Climate Action of the European Commission hosted a half-day workshop on the design of an EU purchasing programme for permanent carbon removal. The workshop served as a platform to share ongoing research and to gather insights from funders, buyers, and policy experts about the motivations behind carbon removal investments and the prerequisites for a successful EU initiative.
In the workshop we explored resources such as a comprehensive guidance on developing ambitious local long-term climate neutrality strategies, present insights from working with small and medium-sized pilot municipalities in Poland, Hungary, Romania and Croatia to support their progress towards reaching climate neutrality and discussed ways forward for local climate action in the EU in the current dynamic political context.
The Ready4NetZero Final Conference, "Climate Transition of Cities – From Planning to Action", provided a platform for international exchange on climate neutrality strategies in cities.
On 25 March 2025, Ecologic Institute hosted an online workshop as part of the EU-funded 3-CO project, bringing together 21 participants from across Europe to discuss how policy can better support social innovation. The discussion centered on key barriers and policy recommendations, grouped into two areas: financial & regulatory and collaboration & networking challenges.
Three years have already flown away, and it is time to look back at our achievements. The final conference of the NICHES project took place online on 24 March 2025. This one-day event provided an overview of the project's innovative work, focusing on the progress toward advancing nature-based transformations of urban water systems. Together with renowned international experts in panel discussions and keynote speeches, we discussed approaches to NBS implementation and governance.
