View Program News
The Climate Group has a strong network of member companies and governments across Europe and the UK. These range from Barclays to Veolia, and from the Greater London Authority to regions like Scotland, Catalonia, and North-Rhine Westphalia.
We work closely with our European members, as well as the many regions affiliated with our global States and Regions programs, to progress the policies and technologies of the low carbon economy. We are in regular touch with the European institutions on these issues. Additionally, we convene events with European regions and facilitate business-government dialogue on low carbon development.
In the coming year, we'll continue to support EU climate policy leadership through our office in Brussels. And we'll continue our work with business, government and the media community to speed up the deployment of key low carbon technologies to advance a Clean Revolution.
Programs and Partnerships
In addition to our building out the European element for our global programs on LEDs, smart cities, renewable energy and EVs, our Europe team is coordinating the "Business Call for a 30% reduction target in the EU's GHG emissions."
