📰 [Press Release] Yesterday, EFIP participated at the opening of Connecting Europe Days in Brussels! Three innovative vessels were called at the port of Brussels and showcased zero and low carbon navigation to high level participants under the Belgian Presidency of the EU. 🚤 The event was opened by the Ministers of Transport for the Regions of Brussels, Flanders and Wallonia who praised and recognised the sustainable potential of IWT and called for continued Europe wide support. ✊ ▶ It also saw the launch of the “INLAND WATERWAY TRANSPORT & PORTS AGENDA 2024 ONWARDS” which outlines the objectives of the sector’s attempts and needs to achieve climate neutrality, increasing resilience, improving digitalisation and adopting automation. The event was closed by Director-General of DG MOVE Magda Kopczyńska of the European Commission saying “The future of transport in Europe must be smart and sustainable. Inland navigation stands out as one of the most energy-efficient modes already. We are pushing for a reduction of carbon emissions across all vessels and a seamless integration of inland waterways into the transport chain. Today, I am confident that the sector is ready to tackle its challenges head-on.” ➡ Read more : https://lnkd.in/egHJceST

Türkiye: moving forward in the European eco-system

Did you know? The European Commission has set an ambitious goal to reduce transport emissions by 90% by 2050. This initiative is a critical part of the European Green Deal, aiming to revamp our transport systems with enhanced rail infrastructures, eco-friendly vehicles, and smarter freight emission calculations. Why is this important? Transportation is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, and this policy not only aims to significantly reduce those emissions but to also foster a sufficiently sustainable system, so that we can travel in style, comfort, and cleanliness. Join DinoBus in cheering on this transformative journey! Every step we take towards green energy helps protect our planet for future generations. 🌏 Let's support and embrace these changes! #Sustainability #EU #GreenDeal #ClimateAction #Transportation #Dinobus #AirportMobility

📣 The Manifesto for a European Ocean Pact's reveal: Addressing the EU's Ocean Strategic Gap Today, Pascal Lamy and Geneviève Pons-Deladrière, Vice-Presidents of Europe Jacques Delors, had the honour to unveil the European Ocean Pact Manifesto in the frame of the 9th edition of Our Ocean Greece, in Athens. Published ahead of the #EuropeanElections2024, the Manifesto aims to drive forward a bold, comprehensive and fit-for-purpose agenda for ocean #sustainability in the upcoming European Commission, recognising the urgent need to regenerate our ocean and its intrinsic link with the prosperity of our societies and the competitiveness of our economies. 🐟 The #ocean and all #waters provide Europe with a formidable asset and opportunities across multiple sectors, from climate regulation, to food, innovation, tourism and security. Yet, its health is deteriorating, and the EU's fragmented approach to maritime policy, including the lack of an integrated approach for all waters, is hindering its true potential. Initiated by EJD and the Oceano Azul Foundation, and with the support of 29 #stakeholders renowned for their expertise in marine affairs, this Manifesto proposes a holistic, evidence-based approach to fill this gap. It aims to synchronise social, economic, and environmental efforts to foster prosperity and competitiveness, equitable development, environmental conservation, and geostrategic positioning. Inspired by the principles and objectives of #MissionStarfish2030, it sets a course for collective action towards a sustainable future.

🇪🇺 Happy Europe Day! Did you know that the EU has a great impact on transport, environment and climate change? 👇   Transportation is responsible for 24% of our CO2 emissions, and despite the efforts, these numbers have been rising by 1.9% every year since 2000. And the EU has a plan!   As part of the European Green Deal, the European Union aims to cut transport emissions by 90% by 2050 by:   🌿 Doubling high-speed rail traffic by 2030 🌿 Introducing at least 30 million zero-emission vehicles on our roads 🌿 Achieving climate neutrality in 100 European cities   By 2050, the EU supports for almost all our vehicles to be emission-free, and for rail freight and high-speed rail traffic to doubled and tripled, respectively.   These are ambitious goals that we can only achieve together. This Europe Day, is about the values we share and the work we do across sectors and countries to make a real difference for all citizen.   See you at the European elections 6-9 June 🌍✨    #EuropeDay #UseYourVote #UrbanMobility #ClimateAction EIT - European Institute of Innovation and Technology | European Commission | European Parliament | Bernadette Bergsma

🚢 As States come together at the International Maritime Organization (IMO) this week and next to decide the measures that will support shipping's decarbonisation, holding polluters accountable is more critical than ever. Introducing a levy would not only support a shift to green energy and reduce emissions, but also provide much-needed funding to ensure that no country is left behind in this transition - particularly those frontline countries, bearing the most negative impacts of the climate crisis. Here's what our Senior Shipping Manager, Ana Laranjeira, who is attending the talks, has to say 👇👇

Makáme a ide to aj do cudziny :-) 👉👉od 10 mi 15 sek💪🌏 The climate crisis is a global issue. Are Slovak cities ready for it? What can the municipalities do to be more sustainable and what difficulties do they face? Does Slovakia have the potential to have as many sustainable cities as possible? Patrícia Arpášová will find it out in this show with Veronika Hagovská (Institute for Circular Economy) and Daniela Piršelová (The Union of Towns and Cities of Slovakia).

Today, our Senior Climate Technology and Policy Manager (CEE) Michał Wendołowski participated in a webinar organised by WiseEuropa. 🌍🔬 The webinar aimed at sharing basic knowledge about CCS, particularly among representatives of local communities in Poland. 📚 Following the presentation of an explanatory brochure about CCS by WiseEuropa, Michał shared Bellona’s perspective on recent CCS projects and policy developments in Norway and Brussels. 📰💡 #ccs #carboncaptureandsotrage #co2storage #poland #climateaction

With the window on limiting global warming closing fast, ‘urgent course correction’ is needed to speed up #decarbonisation. Limiting global warming to 1.5C is still ‘technically feasible’, but this requires ‘urgent course correction’ by everyone involved. Out of the 42 indicators, the world is on track on merely one. Act fast and do your bit to save the planet. #ClimateAction #ClimateCrisis #GlobalWarming #TransportDecarbonisation
