Clean energy for everyone

The European Green Deal is the roadmap for making the EU economy sustainable. This will only succeed if we use the climate and environmental problems in all policy areas as an opportunity to make the transition as fair and inclusive as possible for everyone. By 2030 we want to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement; 40% less CO2 emissions. The European target is to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. Energy poverty is a widespread problem in Europe: between 50 and 125 million inhabitants cannot afford good thermal comfort indoors. We want green energy for everyone!

The hackathon will bring students from various European countries together to help solve one of the biggest challenges in the energy transition. Develop creative and innovative solutions for lower incomes in the energy transition. At the end of the day, a jury will determine the winning team.
