Energy efficiency

The Council of European Municipalities and Regions (CEMR) is organising a seminar on climate change, in the framework of the EU Sustainable Energy Week, in Brussels, on 31 January 2007.

 

How can local and regional governments take action to save energy, save money, save the climate? What local and regional authorities are already doing to mitigate climate change and adapt to it? How to improve the cooperation between all levels of governance? These are some of the questions CEMR will raise during its seminar.

 

Speakers will include Oldrich Vlasak, CEMR's executive president and Member of the European Parliament; locally elected representatives from several cities such as Groningen (Netherlands), Nantes (France), Munich (Germany) or Oslo (Norway); and representatives from the OECD, the European Commission and Parliament.

 

CEMR will also make policy recommendations to the European Commission on how to involve the local and regional levels in mitigation and adaptation policies.

 

This seminar is organised under the umbrella of the EU Sustainable Energy Week. The EUSEW is aimed at raising the awareness of stakeholders and the general public on sustainable energy. It will consist of conferences and exhibitions organised by the major stakeholders in the field of energy and will take place in Brussels and in other cities across Europe.
