Join us for an exciting virtual expert workshop on 10 December 2024, from 10:00 to 12:30 CET, organized by the Ecologic Institute and AquaEcology. This workshop is part of the German-funded research project MEER:STARK that addresses the urgent need for climate resilience in marine conservation. With a focus on Europe-wide collaboration, this event aims to explore how Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) can be adapted to withstand future climate impacts and support adapting to climatic changes.
Urban areas across the globe are facing unprecedented challenges, including urban sprawl, pollution, and the increasing impacts of climate change. To help address these pressing issues, the INTERLACE project is pleased to announce the launch of a new, free Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) titled: "Nature-based solutions: How nature restoration can make more livable, biodiverse, and climate resilient neighbourhoods". The course was introduced in a launch webinar on 8 October 2024.
The Climateurope2 Webstival will take place on 19 and 20 September 2024. This virtual event will provide a platform for exchange on the development, use and quality of climate services and their importance for innovation and policymaking. The Webstival ties in with the 2022 and 2023 editions and will once again address topics relevant to the application of climate services. Registration for the Webstival is still open. Take the opportunity to participate in exciting discussions on the future of climate services.
The webinar "Naturally resilient: anchoring nature-based solutions in municipal climate adaptation concepts" will discuss how nature-based measures can be meaningfully integrated into climate adaptation concepts and what challenges and opportunities exist in practice.
The Nature of Cities Festival 2024 was an extraordinary three-week hybrid event that brought together almost 400 researchers, artists, activists, and enthusiasts from around the world to celebrate the importance and beauty of urban nature. As a proud event partner, the Ecologic Institute's nature-based solutions (NbS) team led two sessions during the in-person week of the festival, taking place in Berlin, Germany from 3 to 7 June 2024.
In this webinar, ECNO invites stakeholders to reflect on the changes in approach to industrial transition that have been taking place over the last year.
The online conference "Shaping urban nature - now!" took place on 7 March 2024 and discussed opportunities around increasing and improving urban nature. In addition to the opportunities offered by urban development funding, the focus was on Urban Greening Plans as ambitious strategies for greener cities.
The negotiations of the Carbon Removals Certification Framework (CRCF) have put EU climate policies at a critical juncture. These negotiations raise some essential questions concerning the further development of EU climate policy.
In this webinar, we will examine what ECNO's analysis can tell us about the progress of the EU cleantech sector and the future of EU cleantech policy. As the European elections approach, and the global cleantech race only speeds up, finding an impactful European solution is increasingly necessary.
This webinar offered a deep dive into the Rhein-Hunsrück-Kreis's journey to becoming a benchmark in climate protection and energy innovation. It examined the district's effective strategies for phasing out fossil fuels and the transition to a local, renewable energy supply.
On 24 January 2024, participants joined this webinar to find out what design competitions, 3D printers and beauty have to do with Europe’s journey to becoming a climate-neutral continent?
In a three-day series of events in Brussels from 5 to 7 December 2023, partners from the Kopernikus project Ariadne present important findings from their work that are relevant for the further development of EU climate and energy policy. They discuss these with representatives from political institutions, science, civil society and business. Participants can look forward to a varied program with workshops on current topics such as the future electricity market design, challenges of the energy transition, improvement of the EU governance mechanism, the role of household surveys in climate policy or the integration of negative emissions into the ETS.
According to the European Commission, almost 26 million tonnes of plastic waste are generated annually in the EU. And since we learned how to produce plastic, humans have manufactured more than 8.3 billion tonnes of it – most of which ended up as a waste product somewhere on the planet. This process leads to plastic waste entering the landscape, rivers, beaches, and eventually ocean. So how can we possibly address a problem of this size?
