How can the European Climate Initiative (EUKI) advance climate action and support implementing organisations in Czechia to contribute effectively to the EU’s Green Deal? These and more questions will be guiding through the Czech EUKI Community Conference.
German and Czech state and civil society representatives will discuss “New Challenges in the Implementation of the EU Climate Goals”. The exchange will shed light on progress that have been achieved under the Czech Presidency and pressing issues Czechia is dealing with regard to the 'Fit for 55' package.
