The transition towards a sustainable and circular bioeconomy is central to achieving Europe’s climate, biodiversity and resilience goals. However, stakeholder engagement and coordination across the European bioeconomy landscape remain uneven, particularly across regions and sectors. STRONGBIONET addresses these challenges by strengthening and connecting bioeconomy networks across Europe and beyond. The project will establish an EU-wide, multilingual digital platform designed as a “network of networks” to support stakeholder engagement, knowledge exchange, investor readiness, education and science-policy dialogue.

With the EU Nature Restoration Regulation, Member States are now required to restore ecosystems, including agricultural ecosystems, while ensuring that restoration is practical, socially grounded and compatible with viable farming systems. The Horizon Europe project BALANCE supports this challenge by demonstrating how farming systems can be nature-positive while remaining economically viable and embedded in local realities.

A key focus of the project is extending the lifespan of everyday goods by enabling them to be passed on to new users instead of being discarded after their first use. This approach helps conserve valuable resources, reduces waste generation, and contributes to lower greenhouse gas emissions.

The AF4VALUE project addresses these barriers by developing and testing approaches that can strengthen agroforestry value chains and improve the economic viability of agroforestry for farmers and rural communities. The project focuses on practical innovation, business models, financial incentives, certification-related technologies and policy conditions that can support the agroecological transition.

This project aims to ensure that the overdue national penalty regimes under the EU Methane Regulation (EUMR), and their enforcement, are sufficiently effective and dissuasive to make full compliance the default rational choice for all companies subject to the EUMR. This is necessary to avoid a race to the lowest level of ambition that would undermine the EUMR's ability to reduce methane emissions in the EU Member States as well as in the countries from which the EU imports fossil fuels.

RISE UP for the Ocean is a global network linking grassroots movements with decision-making spaces, with a mission to unite and amplify civil society and community voices to influence global ocean policy and decision-making. In its work, RISE UP builds on the Blue Call to Action launched in 2019, which sets out agreed priorities, objectives and targets – not based on what is politically convenient, but on what the ocean truly needs to recover.
