Project description:

European Network of Information Centres Energy Sustainability and CO2 reduction among local COMmunities ENESCOM

Increasing the role of local communities in mitigating climate change by creating a common methodology, which will contribute to capacity building for sustainable management / energy management and adoption of smart policies for local strategies for renewable energy (CO2 reduction) in the local community of European states.

The project will promote the integration and institutionalization in these communities, the issue of energy efficiency, savings and renewable energy sources, by establishing partnership with various actors (public administration, business, citizens).
