RESt4GREEN reads Europe’s progress on climate and energy goals! 🌿

The latest EEA report shows that in 2024, net greenhouse gas emissions in the EU fell by a further 2.5%, confirming a steady shift towards cleaner and more efficient energy systems.

At local level, communities focus on:
• reducing energy consumption in buildings
• investing in nature-based solutions
• cutting waste and environmental impact

The EU has set a common target of reaching at least 42.5% renewable energy use by 2030 and of further reductions in energy consumption. 🏡

These EU-level insights reinforce the relevance of initiatives that focus on sustainable energy use, smart public spaces, and community engagement in climate action.

New EU insights on climate resilience strongly echo RESt4GREEN’s mission! 🌿

The European Union has recently published new insights on how communities across Europe are taking action to build resilience against climate-related challenges. The report highlights the top three measures local communities are prioritizing, all of which strongly align with the mission and activities of the RESt4GREEN project.

🟩 49% focus on reducing energy consumption, especially in public buildings
🟩 41% boost urban greening and nature-based solutions
🟩 34% take action to reduce waste and environmental impact

These findings show a clear shift towards energy efficiency, greener public spaces, and climate-aware communities — the same pillars driving our six pilot projects, solar-powered outdoor areas, training actions, and digital tools across the Mediterranean.

🌍 RESt4GREEN is proud to contribute to these EU-backed priorities, helping build more resilient and sustainable public spaces.

Happy ! 🌎

Today we celebrate our shared Mediterranean identity — its culture, diversity, and the cooperation that unites us across borders. This year is especially meaningful, as we mark 30 years since the launch of the Barcelona Process, a historic milestone that laid the foundation for Euro-Mediterranean cooperation in dialogue, peace, and sustainable development.

At RESt4GREEN, we are proud to contribute to a greener, more resilient Mediterranean through energy efficiency and renewable solutions.
