Funding climate and energy transition in the EU: the untapped potential of regional funds

17/04/2020

The report “Funding climate and energy transition in the EU: the untapped potential of regional funds” shows that in the current EU budget cycle 2014-2020, only an average of 9,7% of Cohesion Policy (infrastructure relevant) funding has been invested in clean energy solutions. It also includes country assessments for Estonia, France, Spain, Portugal, Croatia, Slovenia, the Czech Republic and Poland. These country assessments are unveiling that main beneficiaries of the EU budget, particularly CEE and Southern European regions are also the ones that spend the least on clean energy infrastructure.
