Activities to be funded include: 

• Capacity building, 
• Awareness and communication, 
• The development and testing of innovative approaches to counter energy and transport poverty, 
• To strengthen the employability of vulnerable groups in the green and digital economies,
• To promote new sustainable forms of business and consumption (circular and social economy, etc.)
