The project aims at shifting six regions in EU countries (Italy, Spain, Romania, Croatia, Hungary and Greece), towards a low-carbon society. The main objective of the project is to improve the skills required for the design of energy policies and projects in line with the European Energy Strategy 2030, to achieve the new greenhouse gas emission targets, the use of Renewable Energy Sources and Energy Efficiency.
The improvement in the skills of local authorities will be used both in the submission of new SEAPs and in the upgrading of existing ones, while regional authorities will be supported in shaping the 2050 regional energy plan, focusing on the major energy challenges and highlighting possible financial strategies that need to be implemented. Furthermore, the project will contribute to the strengthening and expanding of the Covenant of Mayors. In addition, representatives of municipalities and regional authorities will be enhanced to promote the exchange of experience and to adopt both innovative financial tools and ground-breaking practices on energy policies.
