Networking Event: Fossil-free cities - Blending public and private expertise & finance to implement SECAPs
Brussels Belgium
Without private expertise and finance, without citizens on board and without strong support from national and EU institutions, the implementation of Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plans (SECAPs) becomes a Herculean task. To face to this challenge, many cities are getting outside of their comfort zone, launching collaborative partnerships with the private sector and with motivated people willing to drive the change in their territories.
Join this in-person event, organised by the Covenant of Mayors Europe to discover how cities are reducing their dependence on fossil fuels in the field of street lighting, housing and district heating & cooling thanks to innovative partnerships and projects. Benefit from short and practical trainings, case studies, hands-on methodologies and tools. Enjoy the networking sessions that will leave you enough time to get to know your peers and to explore the variety of approaches to the very same challenge.
This event is co-organised with the Smart EPC project (Horizon 2020) and the Smart Cities Marketplace.
The Smart EPC project can cover travel and accommodation costs for a limited number of participants from cities and energy agencies. These costs will be reimbursed after the event, based on real costs and up to 300 euros per participant (and 1 person per organisation).
