Background

In order to reduce the effects of climate change and prepare for the decline of the oil-age, European regions have a key role to play in promoting, developing and implementing renewable energy sources (RES) combined with energy efficiency strategies to help resolve the energy impasse.

The MORE4NRG partnership will address these interrelated issues at interregional level. The project brings together 12 partners from all over Europe; 11 regions and the Assembly of European Regions (AER). The partnership includes regions with more and less advanced strategies and action plans, with great varieties in approach and extent to which they have set specific targets. Interregional exchange of experience enables all of them to improve their sustainable energy strategies. It will help the less advanced regions to speed up their development. The partners will compile their experience in a toolkit for regional energy strategies, including tools for measuring progress in achieving sustainable energy targets.
