UNIFY: Bringing the EU together on climate action

Since 2019, we have been participating in the European LIFE UNIFY project coordinated by the Climate Action Network (CAN), which aims to support the timely and effective transition of EU Member States to a low-carbon economy. Within the project, we focus mainly on the following areas: national climate and energy plans, setting up a new EU budget, motivation and support of cities in adopting their own climate and energy strategies.

A follow-up project to UNIFY: The EU Connection to Combat Climate Change is a regionally oriented project funded by the German EUKI Foundation and a coordinated by Climate Action Network. It aims to increase ambitions and achieve long-term climate strategies in the Visegrad Group countries, Romania and Bulgaria.

No Time Like The Present: Reframing Political Debate For The Energy Transformation In CEE

The Center for Transport and Energy, as a member organization of the international network CEE Bankwatch, participates in a project financed by the European Climate Initiative EUKI, which is an instrument of the German Federal Ministry of the Environment. The main theme of the project is energy transformation and socially just transition from coal-dependent economy. The project aims to support change in the energy sector in order to meet the climate commitments stemming from the Paris Agreement. In the Czech Republic, within the project, we focus mainly on the just transition of our coal regions. Our aim is to strengthen the coal regions and help them get rid of their dependence on coal mining and burning.
