Joint letter on climate earmarking in Horizon Europe
WindEurope and other trade associations and technology platforms on renewable energy have sent a letter to the Council of the European Union ahead of this week’s Working Party meetings on the Horizon Europe programme. The signatories call on the council representatives to support a more robust target of 35% for climate related research & innovation in the upcoming framework programme. Climate mainstreaming deserves clear and consistent governance. Innovation policy must supply new technology to bring down the investment cost of decarbonising the European energy system.
