AT LAST

The production and use of #energy account for more than 75% of the European Union’s greenhouse gas emissions. ♨️ Decarbonising the EU’s energy system is therefore critical to reaching the 2030 climate objectives and the EU’s long-term strategy of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. 🇪🇺 AT LAST is an EU-funded project designed for local governments, particularly in midsize and smaller cities, to overcome capacity and knowledge gaps and take effective climate action. 👇 Find out more in our video 🎬 #GreenhouseGasEmissions #CarbonNeutrality #ClimateGoals Agenzia per l'Energia e lo Sviluppo Sostenibile, Transition Stories BV, SEI — Stockholm Environment Institute, Klimaatverbond Nederland, VVSG, REVOLVE.

🌍✨ Economic strategies with environmental goals in Sweden! Our pilot program in #Sweden focuses on key sectors such as #transport, #construction, and #negativeemissions in #Helsingborg, #Kristianstad and #Mariestad. In collaboration with the SEI — Stockholm Environment Institute, the municipalities are set to analyze emissions trends, design actionable plans for #climateneutrality and #resilience, and calculate necessary investments. This project not only evaluates the cities' experiences with climate change but also aims to enhance community engagement and inclusivity. Key objectives include: ✨Developing financing ✨Business plans for lower-income neighborhoods ✨Cross-sectorial integration and governance Take a look at our Pilot in Swedish cities! Together, we can pave the way towards climate-neutral and resilient urban environments. 🌱💚 #ATLAST #ClimateAction #SustainableCities #EnvironmentalGoals
