“It’s time to act! The EU Green Deal comes at the right time!” This is how Tine Heyse introduced her speech. Tine is Deputy Mayor of the Environment, Climate, Housing and North-South in the city of Ghent, Belgium.

Louise White, Senior Engineer at the European Investment Bank, guided us through the ELENA Programme, and together with the session moderator Claire Roumet, from Energy Cities, explained how ELENA and EUCF can support municipalities in the development of their sustainable energy projects.
Not only examples and financing opportunities but also alignment with EU Climate Action and targets: Diana Barglazan, Policy Officer in the Energy Efficiency Unit of DG Energy (European Commission), gave us an inspirational speech to do better and more, also presenting what DG Energy is planning for supporting local authorities in the Energy Transition.
