Description
Heating and cooling account for nearly 80% of household energy use and contribute 21% of the EU’s greenhouse gas emissions. Local municipalities have a critical role in advancing the EU’s decarbonisation goals by rethinking these systems. Switching to fossil-free solutions like renewable district energy can transform communities. Engaging citizens, neighborhood by neighborhood, can speed up progress, increase acceptance, and foster local ownership. Energy communities have been crucial in this shift, but more expertise is needed to strengthen public-civic partnerships and develop these projects further.
In this 90-minute webinar, you'll discover:
- How municipalities can support new EU legislation on building decarbonisation
- Strategies to make your city’s heating and cooling plans more inclusive
- Best practices for collaboration between municipalities and energy communities
This event, organized by Energy Cities and REScoop.eu, is funded by the EU Climate Foundation and the REDI4HEAT project, with support from the EU Covenant of Mayors Initiative.
