- Event 7 April 2023 Empowering the energy transition: energy cooperatives and energy communities (Webinar) Although a nascent business model, today energy cooperatives and energy communities cover already a wide range of activities in renewable energies and energy efficiency in several countries. These are local and citizen-led initiatives that put in common investment means and democratic principles to implement the energy transition. Decentralized renewables and small-scale energy efficiency can quickly materialise and become a solution to energy security and to decarbonisation, and benefit from…
- News 24 March 2023 Energy efficiency for a liveable future The global climate crisis is threatening every human on the planet. Every increase in warming results in escalating hazards. More intense heatwaves, heavier rainfall and other weather extremes further increase risks for human health and ecosystems, affecting vulnerable populations the most. The good news is that there are several possible ways to reduce emissions and adapt to climate change, and they are available now. This is one of the main conclusions of the latest report from the…
