Cities and Citizens Energy Forum – Save the date
If you are seeking to rethink the boundaries of our
actions, or dreaming of a place to make your work visible and find new partners,
the first Cities and Citizens
Energy Forum is
for you.
We want our annual conference to be more than 3 days of pleasant social gathering: the Forum should drive debates and provide inspiration to the participants and the hosting city. We want to be challenged by the local community!
During 3 days, we will:
- SHOW the progresses, the potentials, the diversity of local energy initiatives
- SHARE solutions, failures, needs for new policies and legal frameworks
- SHAKE the business as usual agenda, the EU agenda, and our own way of thinking!
What we want to
achieve
We want to show how vibrant the local energy
initiatives are, by focusing on partnerships between municipalities and
communities. We will demonstrate that the transition is happening! By exploring
such partnerships, we want to highlight positive actions that go beyond
fighting and adapting to climate change, to reinvent local economies and policy
making at local level.
We aim at building this Forum with relevant partners,
promoting best practices of cities and citizens energy partnerships to a wider
audience. That is why we will have the European
network of energy cooperatives REScoop
opening our conference, to present some of their relevant projects from
across Europe.
2020 will be the first year of the new European Commission: that is why we invited the Executive Vice President Frans Timmermans. He will be back to his hometown to discuss the development of the new “European climate culture” he has been tasked with. We hope he will debate with Energy Cities members and participants in the conference.
Why you should
come
Because we are all actors of the changes to come!
This summit is for everyone, even though it targets
active citizen and cities representatives in the first place. You can come to
share your experiences, but also to shake your own city’s administration, or to
mobilise other actors.
Because we want to celebrate!
