About us

For living Carpathians and future-ready communities

We are an environmental association working across the Carpathian arc, at the intersection of education, renewable energy and climate science.

Who we are

An organisation built around communities

Renew Carpathia was founded in 2020, in Brașov, out of a conviction that the green transition is not driven by technology alone, but by people, education and engaged communities.

We translate complex topics — climate change, renewable energy, adaptation — into practical, accessible programmes. We work with schools, local authorities, researchers and companies, so that solutions fit the reality of each community.

Mission

We accelerate the transition to a sustainable, climate-resilient future across the Carpathian region — through education, renewable energy and science-based community action.

Vision

A Carpathian region where communities, nature and a clean economy thrive together.

Our values

The principles that guide us

  • Science-based
