DECARBONISATION

NZC supports over 100 European cities in reaching climate neutrality by 2030. The project provides cities with tools, expertise, and funding to design and implement Climate City Contracts, comprehensive strategies that align local governance, investment, innovation, and community engagement. NZC also facilitates peer learning between cities and fosters collaboration with national and EU-level institutions, making systemic climate action possible at the local level.

(Long-term Joint EU-AU Research and Innovation Partnership on Renewable Energy). LEAP-RE strengthens renewable energy innovation and collaboration between Europe and Africa. The project focuses on deploying practical, community-based solutions such as solar mini-grids, clean cooking technologies, and decentralized energy systems. It builds local capacity through joint research, knowledge exchange, and inclusive partnerships, aiming to improve energy access while supporting low-carbon development across the African continent.​

(Sustainable Nuclear Energy Technology Platform). SNETP advances the role of nuclear energy in Europe’s decarbonization pathway by supporting research, development, and innovation in safe, efficient, and low-carbon nuclear technologies. The platform brings together industry, research institutions, and policymakers to coordinate efforts in next-generation reactors, long-term operation of existing plants, and nuclear safety. By aligning R&D with climate targets, SNETP helps position nuclear energy as a stable, carbon-free part of the energy mix.

The Euratom-funded GO4FUSION project accelerates nuclear fusion by building a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) between industry and research. It sets co-designed strategic goals, creates a Research and Innovation plan, and supports EU-funded, industry-driven projects to demonstrate fusion’s readiness and boost the 2026 Euratom Call and beyond.
