Climate Alliance’s Post

📌 Excited to announce the SIDS DOCK Solutions Side Event, happening today from 14:00 to 15:30 (New York time), at the American University of Antigua, St. John’s, alongside the Fourth International Conference on Small Fourth International Conference on Small Island Developing States (#SIDS4). 🌊 Since COP26 in Glasgow, the UN Ocean Conference in Lisbon, and COP28 in Dubai, the importance of ocean health and the greening of marine and coastal industries has been recognized as crucial for global climate action. SIDS are at the forefront of these efforts, adopting ambitious green and blue economy policies. 🌱 At UNIDO and SIDS DOCK, we're committed to enabling SIDS to harness sustainable ocean energy as a key driver for economic and clean energy transitions. Despite technological advances, SIDS face barriers in accessing these innovations. That's why we launched the Global Ocean Energy Alliance (GLOEA) in 2022, with support from various SIDS leaders and energy ministers. 🤝 GLOEA aims to accelerate the transfer of renewable ocean energy technologies to SIDS and coastal lower-income countries, bridging the gap between emerging industries and the needs of SIDS. Our south-south and triangular cooperation initiatives, under the GN-SEC, provide a platform for governments, institutions, and entrepreneurs to collaborate and innovate. 🔜 Stay tuned to learn more about our progress, check the full programme here: https://lnkd.in/dZyXGFiq #GLOEA #SIDS #SustainableEnergy #OceanEnergy #ClimateAction #GreenEconomy #BlueEconomy #Innovation Global Environment Facility

🌱 Transitioning to green energy is crucial for fighting #climatechange and building sustainable economies. Among the solutions, green #hydrogen offers immense potential yet currently makes up less than 2% of Europe's energy mix. 🔄 Our H2CE #Interreg project is at the forefront of this transformation - Find out what hydrogen-ready regions are! 👉 https://lnkd.in/dVj8tEG9 Let's amplify our efforts and become one of them by investing in the future of energy! 💡🔋 #cooperationiscentral #projectthursday REG Regionalentwicklungsgesellschaft Nordwestbrandenburg mbH Unioncamere del Veneto - Eurosportello Veneto City of Zagreb / Grad Zagreb North West Croatia Regional Energy and Climate Agency (REGEA)

🗓 2024 LIFE PROGRAMME CALLS AVAILABLE TOMORROW It has been announced by CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency that all 2024 calls for the #LIFEProgramme will be published on 18 April on the European Commission's “Funding & tender opportunities” portal. The main objective of the programme is to contribute to the #transition to a sustainable, circular, energy-efficient, renewable energy-based, climate-neutral and climate-resilient economy. The LIFE programme is divided into two strands: one for the #environment and another for #climateaction. • Environment, which includes “Nature and biodiversity” and “Circular economy and quality of life” • Climate action, which includes “Climate change mitigation and adaptation” and “Clean energy transition”.

📣Webinar recap!    💡 How is progress being monitored in the just transition regions?    #JUSTEM, together with SITRANS and #RePowerTheRegions hosted the session, ‘Keeping an eye on the transition- are we monitoring our progress?’ The session, which was part of the #EUSEW Sustainable Energy Days, presented the different approaches that each  project is working on to monitor the progress of the just transition process in their regions. Speakers discussed the experiences so far on monitoring progress and the main challenges they faced, as well as the solutions being developed. The session concluded with 4 recommendations for a more effective monitoring process.

💡Citizens are at the heart of the just energy transition; #JUSTEM conducted a series of interviews and workshops to find out what citizens think about the transformation of their regions. Hearing what citizens think about the energy transition is essential to develop inclusive and effective policies to support communities as they undergo the transition from coal🗣️. #JUSTEM, in the process of developing its policy recommendations, found out some key priorities of citizens in its six coal regions: ◾ Bulgaria, Stara Zagora ◾ Croatia, Istria ◾ Greece, Western Macedonia ◾ Poland, Silesia ◾ Romania, Jiu Valley ◾ Spain, Asturias Read our factsheet to find out what citizens think about energy efficiency, employment, climate action and more lnkd.in/dyNnsedd #justtransition #coaltransition #climateaction #LIFEAmplifiers LIFE Programme DSS Lab, EPU-NTUA Black Sea Energy Research Centrе KAPE Krajowa Agencja Poszanowania Energii S.A.
