A new WiseEuropa report – serving as a synthesis of the insights and findings developed throughout the Green Horizon project – highlights that carbon management solutions, particularly carbon capture and storage (CCS), could play a pivotal role in this process, especially in regions undergoing structural transition.
The international GeoSUSTAIN project has been launched - its focus is on developing an efficient, zero-emission, geothermal-based solution for industrial heating and cooling – fully aligned with the goal of achieving climate-neutral H/C systems by 2050.
This report presents the latest snapshot of public awareness and social acceptance of carbon management (CM) technologies in Poland, combining quantitative survey data with qualitative insights from focus groups and industry interviews.
Poland has not yet set a binding climate neutrality target. The other goals proposed in the NECP update are likewise misaligned with European Union climate policy objectives, a point the European Commission highlighted in its assessment of the submitted projection. The proposed ETS‑sector reduction would amount to 14.4%, below the Effort Sharing Regulation (ESR) requirement of 17.7% versus 2005 levels.
The RenovAID project, which has been running since November 2023, is coming to an end. At the event concluding the project, the partners presented the results of the project and discussed the transfer of good practices in the field of building renovation between countries and twin cities.
Twenty-four civil society organisations (CSOs) – including NGOs, environmental groups, labour unions, and industrial associations – from Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, and Latvia have joined a new coalition, which held its kick-off meeting on 26 September 2025. s.
From 15 to 17 September, stakeholders and project partners from Albania, Kosovo, Poland, and Hungary gathered in Budapest for the RenovAID study visit, a three-day long program dedicated to advancing knowledge and collaboration in the field of energy-efficient building renovation.
Developed under the RenovAID project, the two new handbooks—Handbook on One-Stop Shops in Albania and Handbook on One-Stop Shops in Kosovo—provide step-by-step guidance on how to create effective OSS (One-Stop Shop) systems in the capitals of Tirana and Pristina.
Without the capacity for systems thinking, the state remains merely an administrator of crises rather than an architect of the future.
An inspiring study tour was conducted in early April as part of the COMMENCE project. Bringing together experts from Slovakia, Czechia, Poland, and Hungary, this tour offered a fantastic opportunity to learn about the development and challenges of Renewable Energy Communities (RECs) in Austria.
