Capitalisation of the RES projects in the MED area
ENERGY TRANSITION AS A STARTING POINT FOR A RESILIENT TERRITORIAL DEVELOPMENT IN MED AREAClimate Change is one of the most relevant challenges we face globally and especially in the MED Area. Territories will have to establish mechanisms ensuring a more resilient management of the available resources. Energy transition brings an opportunity to set new types of organisation and planning, putting citizens’ empowerment and local level administrative capacity in the center of the strategy. The Renewable Energy Community sets the basis of its second generation on the capitalisation of the Ecosystemic Transition Units in MED Region, as an alternative solution for energy transition with an ecosystemic approach, with the aim of promoting an effective integration of energy into territorial planning, and bring out new opportunities for local development. Multi-level coordination model is proposed to be developed, enhancing the coordination between all stakeholders. The objective is to ensure transferring of the "ETUs" model into a wide number of territories, spreading and mainstreaming the outcomes acquired into local/regional governance and policies. The aim is to prove integral solutions can be addressed through effective coordination and effective transnational cooperation within our Community and also within the MED Communities.
