Data-Driven Roadmaps for Catalyzing Green Growth in Eastern Europe

The Institute of Baltic Studies is leading a project focused on enhancing green growth in Bulgaria, Estonia, and Romania. Funded by the European Climate Initiative, this project aims to increase the export and adoption of low-carbon technologies, ensuring that economic activities align with the EU’s climate neutrality objectives. The project employs a data-driven methodology to develop strategies that promote economic resilience and sustainable practices within these countries. 

The project involves a collaborative effort that engages various stakeholders from industry, government, and civil society. Drawing on Germany’s successful policy integration of climate and economic goals, the initiative will conduct scenario-building, facilitate knowledge sharing, and foster partnerships to tap into new green market opportunities. 

This effort is designed to support the implementation of critical EU policies, positioning Eastern Europe as a hub of sustainable innovation and enhancing regional economic stability. The carefully chosen project partners are integral to achieving the project’s objectives. 

This project is part of the European Climate Initiative (EUKI) of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action. Lead by: Institute of Baltic Studies (Estonia) Partners: Center for the Study of Democracy (Bulgaria), Energy Policy Group (EPG) Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research (ISI).
