Let’s boost the Clean Energy Transition with Energy Efficiency

We’re happy to invite you to our upcoming webinar on the “Energy Efficiency First” (EE1st) principle and its pivotal role in the EU’s Clean Energy Transition. Taking place the 2nd of December, the session will explore how prioritizing energy efficiency can accelerate decarbonization and help achieve the EU’s ambitious climate goals.

What to Expect

During this session, regional experts will dive into how EE1st can be effectively integrated into energy planning, policy-making, and management processes. You’ll learn about real-world case studies where local governments and organizations have successfully put energy efficiency at the forefront of their initiatives.

Why You Should Attend

This webinar is a must for anyone involved in energy planning, policy development, or sustainability initiatives. Whether you’re working at a regional, national, or local level, you’ll gain valuable insights into how energy efficiency can be a game-changer in your efforts to reduce emissions.

About the projects

Regio1st

The project raises awareness about the Energy Efficiency First principle (EE1st) among regional governments and their agencies and supports them to make related decisions in their planning. It does so through the provision of appropriate guidance to regional authorities to embed the EE1st principle in their decisions and in the implementation of their energy plans departing from six participant regions and expanding to over 100 regions in the EU. It establishes a community of practice for EE1st in cooperation with the Covenant of Mayors to ensure political commitment of regional authorities and strengthens the enforcement of the Multilevel Climate and Energy Dialogue provision, with particular focus on ownership and acceptance of the principle from stakeholders at all levels.

PLAN4CET

The general objective of PLAN4CET is to support European regions and cities to design, develop, and implement CET plans according to their needs and possibilities. To do so, the different project outputs (methodologies, tools, capability building, and technical assistance) will be generated to support EU regions and cities in their CET planning, implementation, and monitoring activities.

PLAN4CET will directly support 3 EU regions in improving their Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plans: Navarra (ES), Skäne (SW) and Emilia Romagna (IT). These regions represent different type of EU regions and will serve as samples to many others in which the learnings and best practices can be transferred.
