Energy & Climate Change

The main objective of the Energy & Climate Change Working Group is to act as a platform to discuss and share information on energy-related priorities and funding programmes, especially looking at the Green Deal, the Hydrogen Valleys, the revision of the EU Electricity market, energy storage and batteries (with reference to S3 Partnership on batteries), the upcoming reform of the electricity market and Horizon Europe. The priority areas also feature climate change issues (such as climate adaptation), nature-based solutions and natural resources. The WG is set to explore links and synergies with other areas in which energy and climate change play central role and cooperate with other ERRIN Working Groups, namely S3, Transport, SEFS and Smart Cities Working Groups, as well as the ERRIN task forces on climate adaptation and on the New European Bauhaus.
