About
On June 23, 2025, EIB Advisory, through its JASPERS mandate, in collaboration with the Ministry of Finance (Directorate General for European Funds), hosted a webinar in Spain on the practical application of the European Commission’s technical guidance on climate proofing for infrastructure projects exceeding €10 million.
Climate proofing seeks to ensure that infrastructure is resilient to the potential impacts of climate change while ensuring that GHG emissions from projects are consistent with the EU and Spanish decarbonization objectives.
This webinar provided an introduction to the topic of climate proofing and will be followed by other sectoral capacity-building activities.
Target audience
The webinar was designed for stakeholders that are involved in the climate proofing process in Spain including technicians and engineers, public authorities, infrastructure developers, European fund managers.
Objectives
The webinar covered the following topics:
- Climate proofing methodology based on the EC Technical Guidance on Climate Proofing of Infrastructure for the period 2021-2027 along with practical examples
- Sectoral guidance that could support beneficiaries in the implementation of climate proofing to specific sectors
- Interactive session with questions and answers to clarify key questions and discuss the main barriers and difficulties that arise in the implementation of climate proofing
Decarbonisation of district heating systems in Pre-accession and Eastern Neighbourhood countries
The EIB Advisory JASPERS Webinar on Decarbonisation of District Heating Systems ( DH) , focused on upgrading district heating systems to meet EU energy policy objectives, enhancing energy efficiency, and reducing carbon intensity. The event highlighted the challenges faced by fossil fuel-based systems due to stricter emission standards and rising costs under the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS). Many existing systems need upgrades to comply with EU energy policies and the EU Strategy for Energy System Integration emphasizes investing in smart, efficient, renewable-based district heating to meet climate targets. Participants learned about the latest EU financing instruments, including the Modernisation Fund and Recovery and Resilience Facility, and discovered systematic approaches to project preparation. The webinar was ideal for managing authorities, line ministries, municipalities, and district heating companies. Attendees engaged in expert-led discussions, case studies, and Q&A sessions, advancing their knowledge in district heating decarbonisation and contributing to the EU's environmental targets.
