INTRODUCTION

During the implementation phase of the EMPOWERING project it is important to share the
experiences, findings and results with those who can potentially benefit from the utilization.
The Use and Dissemination Plan (D6.1) defines in great detail the target groups and
dissemination activities that are planned and carried out in the frame of the project.
At the end of each project year -as part of the dissemination activities- each partner publish an
article on national-level and one article on the EU-level in a specialized magazine. The current
report (D6.4) collects and summarizes all released and published national- and EU-level articles
from February 2017 (M13) till April 2018 (M27). (All the publications and news that were
created following a press release are part of a different deliverable – D2.12.)

1.1.    JOURNALS ON NATIONAL- AND ON EU-LEVEL

According to the Dissemination Plan (D6.1) all partner had to find the most appropriate
newspaper or magazine on the national level for the publication. During the selection of the
different journals several aspects were investigated: thematic focus, impact (number of
readers, type of readers), accessibility and availability of the article.
For the collection of the options a media database was elaborated in each country.

1.2.1 Original article in national language
COMUNI IN EUROPA
NELLE MARCHE SI STA SPERIMENTANDO IL RUOLO DEI COMUNI NELL’UNIONE DELL’ENERGIA
Il Parlamento europeo, adottando a stragrande maggioranza lo scorso 17 gennaio, un obiettivo
vincolante del 35% sul risparmio energetico e sulle fonti rinnovabili per l’anno 2030,
nell’ambito dei negoziati sul Clean Energy Package presentato dalla Commissione, rafforza il
sostegno degli obiettivi di efficienza energetica.
L’Europa infatti nel quadro per il clima e l’energia 2030 per uno sviluppo sostenibile (Direttiva
2009/28/EC, COP21 2015, COP23 2017), fissava già tre obiettivi principali da conseguire entro
l'anno indicato:
      una riduzione almeno del 40% delle emissioni di gas a effetto serra (rispetto ai livelli del
       1990),
D6.4 - 1 article published on EU specialized magazine and 1 appearance on national newspaper in each region for the 2nd project year - Empowering
   una quota almeno del 27% di energia rinnovabili,
      un miglioramento almeno del 27% dell'efficienza energetica.
In questo quadro, basato sul pacchetto per il clima e l'energia 2020 ed adottato dai leader
dell’UE nell'ottobre 2014, energia e clima sono strettamente correlati. Circa 2/3 delle emissioni
di gas a effetto serra infatti, provengono da fonti energetiche e quindi per mantenere
l’aumento delle temperature ben al di sotto dei 2º C, si richiede che tutti compiano progressi
nella transizione energetica mondiale.
Ribadendo la necessità di mantenere la leadership Europea nell’attuazione dell’accordo di
Parigi e nella transizione verso economie a basse emissioni di gas a effetto serra e resilienti ai
cambiamenti climatici, il Parlamento invita inoltre “gli Stati membri dell'UE a fissare le
necessarie misure nazionali, per raggiungere tali obiettivi, che saranno poi monitorati secondo
le nuove regole sulla governance dell'Unione dell’energia”.
Sarà l’efficienza energetica il nuovo collante dell’Europa Unita? Perché no!
Ma è necessario che anche e soprattutto le autorità pubbliche locali diventino protagoniste
nella definizione di piani e strategie multi-target e multi-settoriali, considerando la riduzione
energetica e la lotta ai cambiamenti climatici a livello locale, parte di una politica complessiva
di sviluppo integrato per un futuro sostenibile.
Si inserisce infatti in questa direzione verso la “decentralizzazione” delle politiche energetiche,
l’iniziativa decennale del Patto dei Sindaci, che festeggerà a Brussels il suo compleanno con i
comuni aderenti il 22 febbraio 2018.
Essa riunisce enti locali impegnati su base volontaria a raggiungere e superare gli obiettivi
comunitari in materia di clima ed energia che attraverso l’implementazione di PAES-Piani
d’Azione per l’energia sostenibile e PAESC-Piani d’Azione per l’energia sostenibile ed il clima,
si impegnano alla riduzione del consumo energetico e dell'aumento della capacità di energia
rinnovabile, con azioni a livello di politica comunale e di coinvolgimento della comunità.
Questo processo tecnico-politico però richiede competenze multidisciplinari; la mancanza
delle stesse diventa una barriera importante per i decisori politici locali, all'accesso alla
discussione con gli esperti, per la definizione di soluzioni innovative nella gestione della
transizione energetica e l'applicazione di politiche comunitarie a livello locale.
Rafforzare le capacità dei decisori politici e funzionari comunali a valutare ad esempio le
diverse opzioni energetiche intersettoriali sostenibili, in base a criteri tecnici, ambientali,
economici e sociali, cosi come a coinvolgere gli stakeholder e la cittadinanza nella definizione e
implementazione di soluzioni, diventa di strategica priorità.
Contribuire alla riduzione del divario di competenze di più di 300 decisori e tecnici in sei regioni
europee (Croazia, Grecia, Italia, Romania, Spagna, Ungheria), di cui 31 comuni nella Regione
Marche, attraverso specifiche attività di capacity building e scambio di esperienze e buone

pratiche a livello Europeo (nei settori di integrated energy, urban mobility, land use planning), è
l’obiettivo del progetto EMPOWERING (www.empowering-project.eu), finanziato dal
programma quadro europeo Horizon 2020 per la ricerca e l'innovazione, coordinato da SVIM-
Sviluppo Marche s.r.l
Insieme alle attività di capacity building di EMPOWERING, in programma fino a giugno 2018,
SVIM srl intende promuovere e aggiornare anche il modello della “Comunità per l’Energia
Sostenibile" (SEC), rendendo le comunità locali i driver per lo sviluppo regionale sostenibile,
attraverso il coordinamento e il sostegno delle autorità regionali e delle agenzie di sviluppo.
Grazie infatti al progetto LIFE SEC ADAPT (http://www.lifesecadapt.eu/it/), si propone di
aumentare la capacità di resilienza, di 12 comuni nella Regione Marche, al cambiamento
climatico, facilitando così il passaggio verso un’economia a bassa emissione di carbonio.

Conoscenze per la governance

Il Programma Horizon 2020, insieme al Programma il programma Life 2014 – 2020 e gli
strumenti finanziari (Elena, EEEF), sono difatti strumenti finanziari a gestione diretta della EU,
per la promozione di un uso più razionale, efficiente e intelligente dell’energia, mirati a
raggiungere gli obiettivi strategici di Europa 2020 e dello Spazio Europeo della Ricerca (SER), alla
costruzione di una società e di un’economia basate sulla conoscenza e sull’innovazione.

D’altro lato, l’impegno della Regione Marche a sostegno delle politiche locali di sviluppo
dell'energia sostenibile, che oggi contano più di 50 comuni aderenti al Patto dei Sindaci, inizia
nel 2010, attraverso anche il supporto di SVIM - Sviluppo Marche Srl, come Coordinatore
Territoriale Regionale, rinnovato nel 2017, per promuovere l'adesione al nuovo Patto dei
Sindaci e fornire assistenza tecnica e strategica ai comuni firmatari per lo sviluppo, l'attuazione
e il monitoraggio dei loro piani di azione per l'energia e il clima sostenibili (legge regionale del
governo 347/2017).

A tal proposito, in questo contesto, il contributo del progetto EMPOWERING alle politiche locali
in materia energetica e di governance, consiste nel fornire conoscenze e competenze agli enti
locali, poi messe in pratica nel processo di design ed adozione di nuovi Piani d’Azione per
l’Energia Sostenibile e il Clima (PAESC) e nell’aggiornamento di quelli già esistenti (PAES). Le
autorità regionali saranno accompagnate invece nella definizione di una visione energetica
regionale al 2050, mettendo in evidenza le principali sfide per l’energia e identificando possibili
azioni finanziarie strategiche per l'energia sostenibile al 2050. La metodologia utilizzata verrà
poi trasferita ad altri stati Europei, cosi da garantirne il massimo utilizzo nell’Unione
dell’Energia.
In conclusione, i Comuni hanno un ruolo determinante nell’Unione dell’energia, ma solo
includendo l’aspetto formativo, sociale e la partecipazione dei cittadini si garantisce una
pianificazione energetica efficace. Questi fattori concorrendo allo stesso obiettivo, migliorano
gli strumenti di politica partecipativa e di governance, in grado di affrontare le sfide energetiche
al 2030, trasformandoli in strumenti efficaci per una visione partecipativa al 2050. In questo
modo si contribuisce anche a concettualizzare il territorio come un sistema socio-energetico,
composto da un governo locale e di persone che fanno scelte nel settore energetico.

1.2.3 Original article in national language
Alcaldes contra el cambio climático
Las ciudades son clave en la lucha contra el cambio climático. 11 municipios andaluces
participan en el innovador proyecto europeo ‘Empowering’ para que técnicos y responsables
políticos aprendan habilidades en la batalla local contra el cambio climático desarrollando su
propio plan de acción
Dos terceras partes de las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero provienen del uso de
fuentes de energía convencionales (combustibles fósiles), por lo que la aplicación de políticas
de eficiencia energética resulta clave para lograr el objetivo final de evitar que la temperatura
del planeta aumente por encima de 2ºC a finales de este siglo. Por eso las políticas europeas en
materia de energía y clima están estrechamente ligadas, en especial en el marco de las medidas
encaminadas a la mitigación del cambio climático.
El pasado 17 de enero de 2018 el Parlamento Europeo aprobó, por abrumadora mayoría, el
objetivo vinculante de ahorro energético y aumento de la cuota de energías renovables al 35
por ciento para el año 2030. Este objetivo se alinea con los recientes acuerdos en materia de
eficiencia energética adoptados en la Convención Marco de las Naciones Unidas sobre el
Cambio Climático, concretamente en las reuniones celebradas en París (COP21, 2015) y Bonn
(COP23, 2017).
El acuerdo adoptado por el Parlamento Europeo se alinea con la necesidad de avanzar en una
transición energética global que permita cimentar una economía de bajo uso de carbono, más
sostenible a medio y largo plazo. También pretende reafirmar el liderazgo europeo en la
aplicación del Acuerdo de París, por medio de la reducción de las emisiones de gases de efecto
invernadero, un aspecto clave en la transición hacia sociedades y modelos económicos más
resilientes al cambio climático. De esta forma, el Parlamento insta a los Estados miembros de la
UE a establecer las condiciones necesarias, por medio del desarrollo de medidas nacionales
encaminadas a alcanzar los objetivos fijados, las cuales serán posteriormente revisadas de
acuerdo a las nuevas normas sobre la gobernanza de la Unión de la Energía.
Si bien se ha producido un avance significativo de los compromisos en materia de mitigación
del cambio climático y de reducción de emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero a escala
nacional y transnacional desde el Acuerdo de París, es preciso incidir en que estos objetivos y
compromisos sean también trasladados al ámbito de las autoridades públicas locales, en
particular al ámbito de las ciudades. Las Administraciones regionales, comarcales y municipales
deben también asumir un papel protagonista en la lucha contra el cambio climático y en la
aplicación de medidas de eficiencia energética, para lo cual deben desarrollar planes,
programas y estrategias que integren diferentes ámbitos sectoriales.
En esa dirección se orienta el Pacto de los Gobiernos Locales ante el Cambio Climático (Pacto de
los Alcaldes) que constituye la mayor iniciativa urbana europea en materia de clima y energía.
Impulsada por la Comisión Europea y apoyada por la Junta de Andalucía, el Pacto de los
Alcaldes agrupa a miles de autoridades locales, regionales y sus ciudadanos con el compromiso
voluntario de aplicar en sus territorios los objetivos climáticos y energéticos de la Unión
Europea en la lucha contra el calentamiento global. Tiene como principal protagonista a las
corporaciones locales, que son las que aprueban los Planes de Acción por el Clima y la Energía
Sostenible (PACES) y las que se comprometen a desarrollarlos en un determinado horizonte
temporal. Estos planes de acción incluyen medidas y objetivos específicos relacionados con la
reducción del consumo de energía y con el aumento de la proporción de energías renovables.
La experiencia de la iniciativa del Pacto de los Alcaldes ha puesto de manifiesto, en términos
generales, que la efectividad de los compromisos y medidas adoptadas requieren de un
proceso técnico-político complejo, en el que deben participar una gran variedad de ámbitos
sectoriales y actores implicados. La elaboración e implementación de los primeros planes de
acción precisó, en algunos casos, de la activación de auténticos modelos de gestión integral e,
incluso, del desarrollo de mecanismos de gobernanza específicos.
En determinados contextos, la ausencia de medios que facilitaran una gestión integral de las
diferentes áreas vinculadas al clima y la energía, supusieron importantes condicionantes. Sin
embargo, en otros, la puesta en marcha de instrumentos y mecanismos que garantizaban la
coordinación intersectorial, permitió la aplicación de interesantes soluciones innovadoras en
materia de transición energética a escala local y de adaptación frente a los riesgos derivados
del cambio climático.
Una de las grades lecciones aprendidas en el marco del Pacto de los Alcaldes, es que resulta
estratégico dotar a los responsables políticos, funcionarios y técnicos de las corporaciones
locales de capacidades, instrumentos y criterios técnicos multidisciplinares (ambientales,
económicos, sociales) que permitan la aplicación de enfoques transversales en la definición de
compromisos y en la aplicación de las medidas encaminadas al cumplimiento de los objetivos
establecidos.

Novigrad i Vodnjan, članice najveće svjetske inicijative za klimu i energiju
U prosincu 2017. godine gradovi Novigrad i Vodnjan potpisali su Sporazum gradonačelnika za
klimu i energiju i time se pridružili svjetskoj inicijativi za urbanu klimu i energiju koja ujedinjuje
tisuće lokalnih i regionalnih vlasti, dobrovoljno posvećenih provedbi klimatskih i energetskih
ciljeva EU-a na svom teritoriju.
Potpisnici Sporazuma, gradonačelnici gradova: Novigrada i Vodnjana obvezali su se smanjiti
emisije CO2 (i, prema mogućnosti, drugih stakleničkih plinova) na našem području za najmanje
40% do 2030. godine učinkovitijom upotrebom energije i većom upotrebom obnovljivih izvora
energije te usvojiti integrirani pristup ublažavanju i prilagodbi na klimatske promjene.
Gradovi Novigrad i Vodnjan, jedni su od prvih hrvatskih gradova koji su se priključili ovoj
inicijativi i imaju zajedničku viziju održive budućnosti, bez obzira na veličinu svojih gradova ili
općina ili njihov geografski položaj. Ta zajednička vizija pokreće njihova nastojanja za rješavanje
međusobno povezanih izazova: ublažavanja klimatskih promjena, prilagodbe i dobivanja
energije iz obnovljivih izvora. Zajedno su spremni donijeti konkretne, dugoročne mjere kojima
će se osigurati ekološki, društveno i gospodarski stabilno okruženje za sadašnje i buduće
naraštaje. Imaju zajedničku odgovornost stvarati održivija, privlačnija, otpornija i energetski
učinkovitija područja prikladnija za život.
Potpisivanje Sporazuma gradonačelnika za klimu i energiju jedan je od ciljeva projekta
„Empowering local public authorities to build integrated sustainable energy strategies)“
(EMPOWERING) koji uključenim istarskim gradovima omogućuje napredak u području
poznavanja i pripreme prelaska na obnovljive izvore energije te smanjenje upotrebe
konvencionalnih izvora energije kao i uključivanja u međunarodnu mrežu potpisnika
"Sporazuma gradonačelnika" (Covenant of Mayors - CoM) kao odgovora naprednih europskih
gradova na izazove globalne promjene klime, a ujedno prva i najambicioznija inicijativa
Europske komisije usmjerena izravno na aktivno uključenje i kontinuirano sudjelovanje gradskih
uprava i samih građana u borbi protiv globalnog zatopljenja.
U projektu Empowering sudjeluje sedam članica Europske unije: Italija, Španjolska, Švedska,
Rumunjska, Hrvatska, Mađarska i Grčka. Nositelj projekta je Sviluppo Marche Spa, a predviđeno
trajanje projekta je 36 mjeseci, od 1. veljače 2016. do 31. siječnja 2019. godine. Hrvatski partner
u projektu je Istarska razvojna agencija (IDA) d.o.o. kao koordinator projekta uz podršku
Istarske županije i sedam istarskih gradova: Labin, Novigrad, Pazin, Poreč, Pula, Rovinj i Vodnjan

  A fenntartható energiagazdálkodás és a stratégia tervezés szerepe az önkormányzatoknál
Napjainkban    egyre   több    önkormányzat    fordít     figyelmet   a   fenntartható   települési
energiagazdálkodásra, és ismeri fel a stratégiai tervezés jelentőségét. Az energiatudatosság és
fenntarthatóság nemcsak költségmegtakarítást eredményez, de hozzájárul egy élhetőbb
környezet kialakításához is.

Az energiatakarékosságot, a megújuló energiaforrások használatát és az üvegházhatást okozó
gázok csökkentését az Európai Unió is prioritásként kezeli. Az Európai Bizottság 2008-ban
indította útjára a Polgármesterek Szövetsége kezdeményezést, mely 2015-ben új célkitűzéseket
vállalt, és Polgármesterek Klíma- és Energiaügyi Szövetségeként működik tovább. A
Szövetséghez a legelkötelezettebb helyi önkormányzatok önkéntesen csatlakozhatnak. A
csatlakozó települések vállalják, hogy teljesítik az EU klímával és energiával kapcsolatos
célkitűzéseit, a területükön gyorsítják a szén-dioxid-kibocsátás csökkentését, és a klímaváltozás
hatásainak mérséklése érdekében alkalmazkodási intézkedéseket foganatosítanak. (A
Szövetségnek jelenleg 40 aláírója van Magyarországról, amelyek vállalták, hogy elkészítik
Fenntartható Energia Akciótervüket.)

Minden ország érdeke, hogy a területén minél több önkormányzat kezdjen tudatos tervezésbe,
és olyan tevékenységeket és fejlesztéseket valósítson meg, amellyel az éghajlatváltozás hatásai
mérsékelhetőek.

A BORA 94 Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén Megyei Fejlesztési Ügynökség 2016-tól részt vesz egy hat
országból érkező, összesen nyolc résztvevő partner által életre hívott EMPOWERING című
projekt megvalósításában. (A projekt az EU HORIZON2020 Programja keretében finanszírozott.)
Az együttműködés kapcsán a BORA 94 Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén Megyei Fejlesztési Ügynökség
által 11 Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén megyei település kap szakmai segítséget a tudatos tervezéshez,
és a Fenntartható Energia Akciótervük kidolgozásában. A résztvevő önkormányzatok különböző
kapacitásépítést célzó tevékenységekben és tanulmányutakon vesznek részt, és közösen
alakítanak ki egy regionális energia-jövőképet 2050-ig.
A települések akciótervének elkészítése helyzetértékeléssel kezdődik. Az önkormányzatok
felmérik a település energiafelhasználását egy adott ún. bázisévre vonatkozóan. Ebből
összeállítható egy kiindulási szén-dioxid kibocsátási jegyzék, ami rámutat azokra a szektorokra,
amikre az önkormányzatnak különös figyelmet kell fordítania. Ezt követően kell meghatározni a
szükséges energiahatékonysági intézkedéseket és a különböző megújuló energiaforrások
alkalmazására vonatkozó elképzeléseket, és az ezek megvalósításához szükséges finanszírozást
is. A 2014-20 közötti időszakban Magyarországon az energetikai fejlesztéseket alábbi operatív
programok támogatják: KEHOP - Környezeti és Energiahatékonysági Operatív Program, TOP -
Terület- és Településfejlesztési Operatív Program, illetve a VP - Vidékfejlesztési Program.

Az akciótervek készítését 2018. februárjától induló workshop-ok és bárki számára elérhető
webináriumok is támogatják. A rendezvények az alábbi tématerületen kerülnek megtartásra:
integrált energia, szemléletformálás, innovatív finanszírozási megoldások, klímaváltozáshoz
való alkalmazkodás, Fenntartható Energia- és Klíma Akcióterv készítése lépésről-lépésre.

1.2.9 Original article
Supporting cities in energy planning – capacity building of local authorities in six European
regions
Cities play a key role in fighting against climate change. Local authorities have the power to
influence climate issues, however often lack the capacity to recognise challenges, opportunities
and deliver solution. This is particularly true for small- and medium sized local authorities which
face several challenges when it comes to energy planning and implementation. In their case the
coordination and support is definitely needed.
Three years ago different authorities –regional development agencies, regions, research
institutes– from 6 EU regions (from Italy, Spain, Romania, Croatia, Hungary and Greece) decided
to empower local and regional authorities (policy makers and public officers) of each region
involved to shape sustainable energy plans coherent with the European climate and energy
policies. The initiative received funding from the HORIZON 2020 Programme, which is the most
important financial instrument to support research and innovation in the European Union.
The concept
The main idea was to involve local municipalities and regional authorities in a sound
transnational exchange and learning activities. The capacity building measures supposed to
target organisational development and human resources as well.
The transnational exchange programme is designed to enable policy makers and public officers
involved to learn from each other’s experiences and adapt effective responses to the major
energy challenges with the thematic focus on integrated energy, sustainable urban mobility,
land use planning and innovative financial solution. Based on the transnational exchange a
capacity building programme is elaborated. As the result of a successfully implemented
capacity building program, the improved knowledge and competences of local authorities are
put into practice during the adaption of new Sustainable Energy Action Plans and upgrading of
the existing ones, while regional authorities are supported in shaping regional energy vision to
2050.
Capacity building needs analysis
To find the right pathway for the most suitable capacity building program, a survey was
conducted in all the six participating regions. The involved local authorities were smaller and
therefore have potentially limited capacity, although have motivation to plan and influence
energy consumption. The data was collected from 61 local authorities using a structured
questionnaire. It was also followed by personal meetings where targeted questions were asked
from the participants. Although the results were analysed in all regions separately, similarities
within the participating regions could be discovered.
Conclusions:
Available funding influences the implemented measures.
Most local authorities realize exemplary practices in areas related to land use planning where
internal structures and institutional settings (procedures) coherently exist. This could be a
consequence of the fact that these structures are related to urban planning as an overall
concept, however in most cases these structures do not have a focus on sustainable energy.
Still, among the topics to be the subject of capacity building activities, “land use planning”
scored the lowest preference (46%).
Regarding innovative financing solutions, most respondents scored the lowest level of
structural approach – there are gaps on most aspects envisaged (projects, structure, settings,
training, resources) and this is confirmed by their preference (of 81%) to be trained on the topic
of financial innovative solutions.
