Scientists, the ESA, ICWF and other great institutions are developing a digital twin of the earth that can show each and everyone of us what out future in certain areas will look like. Let's have a closer look.

The European Union declared 2021 to be the year of rail. Fact is: Using trains instead of cars is energy-efficient and healthier for the environment. But why don't we have an European Rail network?

The answer in our Green Deal Podcast.

Forests are essential when it comes to absorbing CO2 emissions. But in what shape are our forests and what role do they play in the EUs Green Deal?

What are the energy sources of the future? Some EU-countries want to shut down their nuclear power plants and move towards renewable energy sources. Other countries want to build nuclear power plants as a step in between stepping out of the coal business and into renewable energy in the future. One of these countries is Poland. In this Episode old Euranet Plus-friends Sina from Germany and Joachim from Poland are discussing this topic.

The role of public transport and new technologies in vehicles have a decisive influence on our climate. The COVID-19 pandemic shows, how much better the air quality in cities becomes when most people work from home and therefore don't pollute the environment by driving around in their cars.

And what about the expansion of e-mobility?
Which countries in Europe are already leading and where are the problems in Germany? Enjoy listening to this episode of the Green Deal.

But how can companies and houseowners get motivated to invest into energy efficency in buildings? Listen up!
