We invite you to a conference on energy transition, meaningful investment and social security in Czech society, which will take place on Monday 20 November 2023 at 13:00 at the European House in Prague.
Show moreThe energy transition focuses on the swift and full decarbonization of our economies by moving away from fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas and oil towards carbon-free and preferably renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, geothermal, bioenergy and hydropower. The global community agreed to limiting the global average temperature to 1.5C to prevent worsening of potentially irreversible effects of climate change. Writes Jonathan Lyons.
Show moreEnergetický přechod se zaměřuje na rychlou a úplnou dekarbonizaci našich ekonomik odklonem od fosilních paliv, jako je uhlí, zemní plyn a ropa, směrem k bezuhlíkovým a pokud možno obnovitelným zdrojům energie, jako je větrná, solární, geotermální, bioenergie a vodní energie. Světové společenství se dohodlo na omezení průměrné globální teploty na 1,5C, aby se zabránilo zhoršení potenciálně nevratných dopadů změny klimatu. Píše Jonathan Lyons.
Show moreAfter three successful projects focusing on the decarbonization of the Czech automotive industry, the Green Europe team of EUROPEUM in collaboration with the Institute of Circular Economy (INCIEN) is broadening its focus and taking a more circular approach. This project will focus on better lifecycle and end-of-life management of materials used in vehicles and batteries. The collaboration will be split into two research areas.
Show morePo třech úspěšných projektech zaměřených na dekarbonizaci českého automobilového průmyslu rozšiřuje tým Green Europe EUROPEUM ve spolupráci s Institutem cirkulární ekonomiky (INCIEN) své zaměření na problematiku cirkulárního hospodářství. Tento projekt se zaměří na zlepšení životního cyklu a konce životnosti materiálů používaných ve vozidlech a bateriích. Spolupráce bude rozdělena do dvou výzkumných oblastí.
Show moreThe Ukrainian grain situation is making waves in Europe. Deputy Director and Head of the Brussels Office Ziga Faktor wrote an Op-Ed about the impact of the situation on the country's EU accession and how some member states are reacting.
Show moreOne of the biggest obstacles to solving the climate crisis is fossil fuel subsidies. However, they have not received much attention in the Czech Republic. An Op-Ed on this topic was written by our Senior Research Fellow Kateřina Davidová.

Show moreClimate change is an important topic that is increasingly appearing in various narratives in Czech political discourse. Our researcher Klára Votavová writes about environmental issues and the subsequent political response in her new commentary for Deník N, where she presents findings from the RevivEU project.
Show moreRevivEU project, carried out by four leading institutions in the V4 countries, looks at the needs, concerns and fears of the V4 citizens in four various EU-related topics. It does so through both quantitative and qualitative research of citizens´ attitudes towards climate change, migration, covid-19 and the rule of law. It also analyses the governmental policies in these four main areas and how the communication of these policies is framed in the public discourse.
