The strategic objective of the project is, with a mix of online tools and stakeholder events, to provide relevant and fact-based information on the implementation of the EU Green Deal, particularly the Fit for 55 package and the path to net-zero focusing on its elements (NECP, renewable energy, heating decarbonization, socially just transition, energy communities), localized for the Slovak national context and with a targeted focus on policy decision-makers, stakeholders and media.

The project will strengthen the fact-based public discussion on climate policies, involve principal stakeholders in the debates about the transition process and mechanisms in selected areas, and de-bunk some of the most prevailing dis/misinformation about green policies and their impacts. These activities will foster the transition to a net-zero carbon economy, by strengthening the support for climate policies among the public policy makers. 

The project aims to address three challenges, specifically 1.) Climate and energy policies facing a political backlash, 2.) Potentially harmful changes to the legislation and 3.) Climate policies and trends during and after EU elections, via general & specific objectives by: 

• Driving progress towards the goals of the Paris Agreement, 
• Promoting practical policymaking in response to the climate crisis,
• Broadening political and public support for climate action
• Striving for a positive, people-centred, and socially responsible climate transition in Europe and around the world.

 The project is being implemented from April 2024 to March 2025.
