Integrated Planning

Effective climate and energy action requires coordination across sectors, territories, and governance levels. Integrated planning brings together energy, climate, spatial, and infrastructure strategies to create coherent, actionable pathways for decarbonisation and resilience. Tools like Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plans (SECAPs) enable municipalities and regions to assess energy demand, identify mitigation and adaptation measures, and align long-term planning with EU targets. Regional and local Energy Agencies play a key role in supporting authorities, facilitating multilevel collaboration, and translating complex data into practical, place-based solutions. By connecting energy, land use, transport, and urban development policies, integrated planning ensures that climate and energy objectives are implemented efficiently, inclusively, and sustainably.
