Metropolitan
regions have unique problems but also special financial and human
opportunities to design energy policy and can learn from each other's
experiences. The cities of Berlin, Naples, Paris, Rotterdam, Milan, Sofia,
Tallinn and Zurich (associated partner) will:
-
monitor, evaluate and
further develop existing instruments to promote RUE/RES in metropolitan
regions (participating cities and beyond) with reference to previously
defined energy, environment, economic and social impacts,
-
hold seven workshops for the
exchange of experience on RUE/RES instruments,
-
initiate the implementation
of one new instrument per city,
-
disseminate the deliverables
widely (in Europe and worldwide),
-
institutionalise the
exchange of experience by integrating the City Instruments forum into
one of the existing networks for sustainable development in cities.
The analysis of instruments
promoting RUE/RES and the accompanying workshop series will be structured
around the following themes:
-
Energy renovation of
existing buildings
-
Municipal energy management,
decentralised energy supply, integration of renewable energies
-
Sustainable transport and
mobility
-
Information, communication
and co-operation
-
Methods for calculation,
indicators, monitoring
-
Financing instruments
including joint implementation and emission trading
-
Administrative organisation:
internal structures and processes.
As a result of the project, a
Best Practice Catalogue for RUE/RES instruments in cities will be available
and disseminated widely. The participating cities will have a blueprint for
a municipal Energy Master Plan and have participated in a workshop series on
specific RUE/RES instruments. Each participating city will select at least
one new instrument which it plans to implement.
In order to ensure the
long-term sustainability of the project, the project partners will set up a
forum for promoting RUE and RES in metropolitan regions within one of the
existing networks for cities, where experts from Europe's large cities can
regularly meet and learn from each other.
The complete results of the
project are available on:
