Urgent action is needed to combat climate change and biodiversity loss. Greater transparency is crucial for cities, businesses and financial institutions to assess risks and opportunities. Access to knowledge and analytics helps stakeholders promote climate resilience and a nature-positive economy.
Energy Communities in Metropolitan Areas
Energy communities have a pivotal role in energy transition and they are growing around the EU but they often struggle to take-off.
