Zjistit víceThe project called Decarbonization of the automotive industry aims to enable fast and fair decarbonization of the automotive industry in the Czech Republic by bridging the gap between policy- and decision-makers and companies. The key networking activities rely on evidence-based research outputs and follow-up activities with the respective stakeholders of the automotive industry in the Czech Republic. Furthermore, the project aims to deepen the public understanding and social acceptance of the inevitable changes in the transport sector. The project is led by the EUROPEUM Institute for European Policy with financial support from the European Climate Foundation.

Klíčové aktivity se opírají o výstupy výzkumu a následné spolupráci s příslušnými zainteresovanými stranami automobilového průmyslu v České republice. Cílem je mimo jiné nejen prohloubit porozumění veřejnosti, ale také zvýšit společenské přijetí nadcházejících změn v dopravním sektoru, které se zdají být nevyhnutelné. Projekt vede Institut pro evropskou politiku EUROPEUM za finanční podpory Evropské klimatické nadace.

The policy report was written within the project Decarbonisation of the automotive industry in the Czech Republic.
