Cork City has secured a special EU designation that will help unlock vast European and State funding and private investment, for projects to accelerate its journey to climate neutral.
Taoiseach Micheál Martin marked the formal awarding of the prestigious EU Mission Label to Cork by the European Commission at a special discussion event in SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Saturday, with input from the city council, the third-level sector, businesses, Irish Rail and Bus Éireann.
David Joyce, the city council’s director of services for emergency management and climate action, said the designation now provides the city with exciting opportunities to access funding through various EU and European Investment Bank funding streams.
