The programme will support leaders across seven European countries to deliver on climate action targets.
The Technological University of the Shannon is leading a €1.7 million European climate leadership programme to help achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
The REMARKABLE project, which officially launched in Thurles, is a programme that will support leaders across seven European countries to deliver step change progress towards carbon neutrality.
The project, which was proposed by the TUS Development Unit and funded under the EU’s Horizon 2020 fund, aims to address the goal for Europe’s economy and society to become climate neutral by 2050, as set out in the European Green Deal and written into European Climate Law.
Partners from a mix of universities, government, and energy agencies from the six partner countries (Austria, Croatia, France, Sweden, Slovenia and Spain) travelled to Ireland to officially kick off the project.
Dean of Flexible Learning and Work-Based Learning at TUS, Seamus Hoyne says;
"The issue of climate change is now to the forefront of everyone’s agenda and being discussed extensively across all sectors of society.
"The ambition to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 will require strong leadership across our public and private sectors.
"REMARKABLE focuses on this leadership issue by profiling existing climate leaders and developing tools to support new leaders.
"Furthermore, it will support local and regional energy agencies to develop new services and tools to deliver on our carbon neutrality goals.
"With the United Nations Climate Conference, COP26, being held in three weeks, it is very timely that we are working with other experts from across Europe to become leaders in our own right, delivering positive change for the region."
