The LIFE IP project ZENAPA (Zero Emission nature protection Areas) participated in the LIFE Platform meeting on 8th and 9th of November. The goal of this platform meeting organised by the European Climate Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA), NEEMO, and the LIFE Integrated Project Coast to Coast Climate Challenge was to showcase best practice of systemic innovations that make municipal and regional climate action faster, better, and smoother.
LIFE and other EU-funded projects met and discussed how systemic innovation can enhance climate action and how the replication of good practice can be supported. The focus was on regional and local solutions for systemic innovations to avoid GHG emissions and to adapt to climate change.
The meeting promoted the exchange of knowledge and good practices, facilitated networking and synergies among projects with related activities, and provided policy feedback from the implementation experience of projects.
Jacob Bußmann – project manager at the Institute for Applied material Flow Management (project coordinator of ZENAPA) – held a presentation on systemic innovation at ZENAPA on the first meeting day, which was focussing on climate action and mitigation on the regional level. After the presentation, a podium discussion with two other projects – Belgian BE REEL (Belgium Renovates for Energy Efficient Living) and Italian Zero Emissions Services for a Decarbonised Alpine Economy (Hydrogen and electromobility) – took place (s. picture below).
