Inforegio - Communities for Climate: Local action to respond to climate change
Climate change is no longer a distant threat but a pressing reality. Floods, fires, droughts, and the loss of biodiversity are impacting us, worldwide. To address this urgent issue, the European Commission is launching the Communities for Climate (C4C) pilot action. This initiative aims to empower local communities across Europe to take meaningful climate action.
- 22 February 2024
Communities for Climate will support 50 local projects focusing on regenerating biodiversity, water management, circular economies, or renewable energy. Selected communities will receive specialized expertise, peer-learning opportunities, and guidance to make their projects impactful and visible.
The C4C initiative emphasizes the importance of place-based solutions, with projects located in the eleven eligible EU countries: Croatia, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Romania, Spain, and Sweden. Cross-border collaborations (i.e. between border regions) to tackle climate issues are encouraged.
The call for submissions is open until April 3, 2024, 23:59 CET. Join an informational webinar on February 29 at 11:00 CET to learn more. Visit the website of the C4C initiative for more details.
