RdA Climate Solutions is the first and only Portuguese organisation to join the Sustainable Energy Finance Association (SEFA), a European network dedicated to promoting innovative financial solutions for the energy and climate transition.
With this membership, RdA Climate Solutions strengthens its role as a national and European reference in developing financial instruments that support projects in energy efficiency, circular economy, and bio-waste valorisation. Among the initiatives in which it is already actively involved are the Powering Energy Hub and crOSSfit, both focused on mobilising investment for energy transition solutions.
“Joining SEFA represents a unique opportunity to reinforce our commitment to sustainable finance and to collaborate with some of the most dynamic organisations in the sector,” says Jorge Rodrigues de Almeida, Founder and Managing Partner of RdA Climate Solutions.
SEFA brings together public, private, and third-sector entities with the shared goal of accelerating the decarbonisation of the European economy. According to John O’Rourke, Chair of the SEFA Board of Directors, “RdA’s deep knowledge in climate finance and its hands-on experience at the European level are a significant asset to the network.”
By joining SEFA, RdA Climate Solutions becomes part of a European community committed to mobilising public and private capital for projects that foster a more sustainable, resilient, and inclusive energy future.

European Union islands leading the energy transition
Due to their geographical, climatic, and socioeconomic characteristics, islands face specific challenges concerning energy production and consumption. In certain archipelagos or islands, being isolated systems, energy production is expensive and heavily dependent on fossil fuels. In this regard, the European Commission's Clean energy for EU islands initiative aims to transform these challenges into opportunities, with the goal of making Europe's island communities leaders in innovation in the energy transition, as well as supporting islands in producing their own energy from renewable sources.
