The European Green Deal and MaREI
MaREI, the SFI Centre for Energy, Climate and Marine is a key partner in three H2020 projects specifically focused on the Green Deal, an EU wide commitment to tackling climate and environmental-related challenges.
The European Green Deal is designed to set Europe on a path to becoming a climate resilient, zero carbon society that improves the well-being of all citizens. The objectives of the Green Deal will be met through a number of instruments, research and innovation programmes being one element – with specific topics addressed through Horizon programmes.
