Local communities across Europe are turning climate ambition into action. From community energy projects to neighborhood greening, these grassroots efforts show how collective action can accelerate the green transition and make change visible in daily life.
Autumn in Europe is both a cultural and climate opportunity. Seasonal eating supports local farmers, reduces emissions from transport and storage, and strengthens rural economies. In the context of the EU’s Fit for 55 plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030, consumer food choices play an important but often overlooked role in meeting climate goals.

Australian winery Brown Brothers has launched the country’s first aluminium wine bottle 40% lighter than glass and fully recyclable.
No change in taste, just fewer emissions.
A bold step toward the wine industry’s net zero by 2050 goal.
How slow manufacturers fund the fast ones:
- EU CO₂ limits (95g/km) reshaped the auto industry
- Low-emission makers earned surplus credits
- Others bought them to dodge fines
The result?
Innovators profit, laggards pay.
The system rewards the fast, and fines the slow.
Communities across Europe are proving that real change starts locally. From bike lanes to tree-planting days, collective action is turning climate goals into everyday reality. Find out how in our latest article.
Fixing weak spots in Europe’s energy system: the EU is upgrading grids and cross-border flows to cut costs, boost reliability, and make space for more renewables: a key step toward a cleaner, more stable power future.
