Description

Citizen cooperatives on both sides of the Atlantic work hard to find renewable energy solutions for their communities. Through this cooperation, neighbors, friends, and peers often combine the knowledge and funding needed for such projects.

Learn about some of the initiatives from the EU and United States that are helping communities toward a sustainable future. You can join the energy revolution and fight climate change — right in your backyard.

Featuring opening keynote remarks by video from Clara de la Torre, Deputy Director-General for Climate Action, European Commission.
