  3. Project focus (I) Support transition to 100% sustainable energy communities by: achieving significant change in public management approaches achieving sustainable energy solutions at community level Work with levels of government closest to citizens: building local government capacity, learning from experiences, encouraging political leadership, Identify opportunities for change: political, administrative, economic, social and environmental.

  4. Europe by night Project focus (II) Cities are ... .. where quality of life is expected and can be offered 1.600 Urban areas in Europe with more than 50.000 inhabitants

  5. Consortium Coordinator: ICLEI - Local Governments for Sustainability, European Secretariat (ICLEI Europe) Technical and network partners: Banca Popolare Etica (IT) Climate Alliance ecovision GmbH (DE) Italian Local Agenda 21 Association (IT) Trecodome (NL)

  6. Cities and Province partners: Bologna (IT) Burgas (BG) Ludwigsburg (DE) Mountain Community - Municipalities Association ‘Trasimeno-Middle Tiber’ (IT) Miskolc (HU) Munich (DE) Province of Siena (IT) Rosignano Marittimo (IT) Woking Borough (UK)

  7. Objectives & Results (I) Develop capacity to strengthen role of local and provincial governmentsin the sustainable energy transition – using the integrated management approach LEAP wizard as a decision-making support tool Peer-to-peer exchanges, study visits, workshops, staff trainee programmes, individual city training workshops Create instrumentsthat build on state-of-the-art Local Energy Action Plan (LEAP) developments 30 exemplary case studies and analyses on replicable factors and cost-benefit ratios – added to the LEAP wizard

  8. Objectives (II) Guide Local Energy Action Plan (LEAP) implementation in selected learning communities.

  11. Step 1 1) BASELINE REVIEW • Conduct a Baseline Emissions Inventory • Energy Status Report (energy sources, energy needs, energy security) • Adaptation Assessment • Establish a vision* (overall direction e.g. to 2020, 2050)

  12. Baseline review • Requires input from actors outside Local Governments (LGs) • Identify boundaries, themes • Refer to legislative context relative to energy sustainability • How to measure? • Indicators: beware of over-complexity and over-simplicity • Collect data and deal with data gaps

  13. Step 2 2) TARGET SETTING • Organisational & financial aspects (form team e.g. under supervision of Mayor, involve team in target setting) • Set CO2/ GHG reduction target for municipality and community. • Set specific energy savings & RE % target per sector • Estimate costs and expected CO2e reduction per measure • Set LEAP / SEAP timeframe (e.g. 3 to 5 years, 10 years)

  14. Target setting • Trade off between vision and feasible (be ambitious, yet realistic) • Involvement and agreement by stakeholders to achieve ownership • Lessons learned: If you start, start small to allow adaptation of plan • Set priorities through participation exploration

  15. Step 3 3) POLITICAL COMMITMENT • Conduct political debate • Obtain Council decision – approval of targets (also for LEAP / SEAP) • Outline LEAP / SEAP – targets and measures • Communicate this with citizens (relevant - step 1 through 5)

  16. Political commitment • True involvement for achieving comprehensive programme, not isolated pilots • Integration with other urban policies

  17. Step 4 4) IMPLEMENTATION AND MONITORING • Define key actions / measures • Identify activity leader and involved department / individual / company • Implement (start / end date) • Involve stakeholders • Communicate with citizens • Ongoing monitoring and taking (easy) corrective actions

  18. Implementation and monitoring • Measures qualitatively and quantitatively • Assign responsibilities • Regular and valuable feedback to actors feeding the system • Corrective measures

  19. Step 5 5) EVALUATION AND REPORTING • Collect results • Analyse progress - development towards targets, problems, new opportunities • Evaluate process - effective? • Prepare feedback for next cycle • Communicate with citizens

  20. Evaluation and reporting • Value judgement • Where’s additionality of plan? • Evaluate regularly, not a one-off • Quantitative analysis of each indicator • Possible organisational changes
