The city is leading the way when it comes to providing safer, more sustainable ways to travel in urban areas. Last year, Budapest organised an ambitious car-free weekend attracting about 10,000 people and a Car-Free Day on 22 September 2023. The city plans for the construction of a new, pedestrian-friendly car-free zone on the Danube embankment. 🏅 The winner of the Mobility Action Award 2023 is Nudgd, an online 🇸🇪 promoting sustainable school travel in Helsingborg. The platform supports the city’s goals to step up cycling, and promote safer, more sustainable travel. #MobilityWeek #EuropeanUnion #EUGreenDeal</a>Sintra bloguehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00578478730743444517noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164075096302305930.post-72922141922351509502024-03-15T10:54:00.003+01:002024-03-15T10:54:34.113+01:00<a href="https://eu.smh.re/0QWU" target="_blank">⚡Where does our #energy come from❓How are we advancing towards adopting renewable energy sources❓🆕Learn this and more in the 2024 edition of the interactive publication ‘Shedding light on energy in the EU’.💡Explore data easily with short texts and dynamic infographics. 📊Click here 👉 https://europa.eu/!bdKqH8</a>Sintra bloguehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00578478730743444517noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164075096302305930.post-31280675289160941032024-03-15T10:53:00.005+01:002024-03-15T10:53:27.406+01:00<a href="https://eu.smh.re/0QWT" target="_blank">European Commission recommends Council to open EU accession negotiations with Bosnia and Herzegovina.Bosnia and Herzegovina has taken impressive steps forward & the positive dynamic on the reform path needs to continue.Their future lies in our Union.</a>Sintra bloguehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00578478730743444517noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164075096302305930.post-90547084583102558552024-03-15T10:51:00.003+01:002024-03-15T10:51:32.818+01:00<a href="https://eu.smh.re/0QWS" target="_blank">Where do we stand in the promotion and uptake of non-animal methods and approaches in science and regulation?

This summer, we saw the chaos and carnage of extreme weather – in Spain, Greece, Slovenia, Bulgaria - across our Union and beyond. ✔️ The European Green Deal was born out of this necessity to protect our planet. It provides the necessary frame, incentives, and investment. The EU wants to support European industry in building its model for decarbonisation. Starting this month, the Commission will be discussing with the industry the best way to do this, via a series of Clean Transition Dialogues. Furthermore, the Commission will present a European Wind Power package to: 🍃 fast-track permitting even more, 🍃 improve the auction systems, and 🍃 focus on skills, access to finance and stable supply chains. Our wind industry is already a European success story. But this is broader than one sector – from wind to steel, from batteries to electric vehicles, our ambition is clear.

Now, they must respect the DMA do’s and don'ts. They will no longer be able to use unfair practices towards those who depend on them to gain an undue advantage, with fines of up to 20% of their global turnover if they fail to do so.

In the report you will find: ✅ What should climate research prioritise? This report unveils crucial knowledge gaps in climate science—critical for understanding how our climate system functions, its response to rising temperatures, and strategies for ambitious mitigation and adaptation. A blueprint for transformative change! ✅ It compiles recommendations from IPCC authors, emphasising multi-disciplinarity and synergies across themes like physical climate science, impacts, risks, adaptation, and mitigation. A synthesis of wisdom guiding us towards evidence-based policymaking. ✅ Climate science, by providing us with essential knowledge, is the linchpin of effective climate action and key input to policymaking. It paves the way for robust mitigation and adaptation strategies, driving the transition to a climate-resilient future. The report directs attention to areas requiring additional research, a compass guiding future climate science. Bridging these knowledge gaps is pivotal!
