CLIMATEFIT_HEU Symposium on Financing #ClimateResilience of #Slovenia was a success. Thanks to the participation of the European Commission, the Slovenian Ministry of the Environment, Climate and Energy, as well as Zavarovalnica Triglav, d.d., Nova KBM d.d. and Agency ENERGAP, opportunities for cross-sectorial collaboration have emerged. Looking forward to realise them. #ClimateFinance #SustainableInvestments #ClimateAdaptation

On the eve of the Summit of the Berlin Process, I had a particular pleasure to participate on the Civil Society Forum as part of the Macedonian NGO community. The forum was organized in Tirana, Albania and served as a platform for the exchange of knowledge, experiences and networking between the various stakeholders.The thematic panel on climate and green agenda addressed the current situations and challenges faced by the countries of the Western Balkans in the domain of "green" policies, including the green infrastructure, biodiversity protection, effective environmental management and energy transition. Three general recommendations were presented at the thematic forum, which referred to: - the financial support of the EU in relation to the further harmonization of the region with the environmental standards of the EU, - good governance in the environment and climate, as an essential element for the implementation of the Green Agenda - increasing investments in biodiversity and the protection of natural resources, which are at the heart of climate change mitigation and adaptation. The key recommendations document is available at the following link:

"Cooperation will be fundamental to realise the green transition of the transport sector" On 7 May, Nordic Energy Research is organising the Nordic Green Transport Forum in Gothenburg, Sweden. The forum is open to the public and will explore the added value of cooperation across the Nordic countries and sectors for pathways and innovative solutions to achieve sustainable transportation on land, at sea, and in the air. With only one month left until the forum, we asked one of the keynote speakers, Tommaso Selleri, Expert in Climate Change, Energy, and Transport at the European Environment Agency, to elaborate on his session on Green Transport in the EU and Digitalisation. From an EU perspective, how can Nordic cooperation on green transportation contribute to the EU's climate objectives? "The climate problem we must solve is intrinsically transboundary and calls for cooperation at all possible levels. In this context, the transport sector must still deliver on GHG emission reduction to make it possible to reach our shared EU climate objectives. Several challenges lie ahead and all of them will require coordination, shared and common solutions, and integration of different mobility systems. Cooperation on these aspects will be fundamental to realise the green transition of the sector," says Tommaso.

What if Northern Europe plays a bigger role as a knowledge provider on the sustainable use of natural resources in the future? In Luke's new position paper, we highlight five themes and propose actions for the green transition that should be on the EU's future agenda. 1️⃣ In the forest bioeconomy, economic, social, climate and biodiversity aspects can be reconciled to strengthen the European economy.   2️⃣ The focus of global food production shifts to Northern Europe.   3️⃣ The transition from fossil energy to domestic renewable energy increases security of supply and resilience to crises.   4️⃣ Terrestrial, technological and aquatic carbon sinks complement each other in climate change mitigation and adaptation.   5️⃣ Future Bioeconomy is an essential part of industrial policy.
