LIFE PlanUp Webinar: The role of the National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs) in the post- COVID recovery 29 June 2020, 10:00 CET www.planup.eu This project has received funding from the European Union’s LIFE programme under grant agreement no. LIFE17 GIC/AT/000039 We acknowledge the support of the European Climate Foundation
Agenda State of play of the final NECPs in the framework of the European recovery Leonardo Zannier, Policy Officer, DG Energy, European Commission How the NECPs can structure a recovery consistent with climate neutrality Agnese Ruggiero, Policy Officer, LIFE PlanUp project The Covenant of Mayors as key instrument to relaunch Europe from local level Benedetta Brighenti, Former CoR rapporteur on the Covenant of Mayors The role of multi-level cooperation in the NECPs to deliver an inclusive recovery Evi Tzanakaki, CRES, Greek national coordinator for the Covenant of Mayors Green recovery supporting the EU Green Deal Jouni Keronen, CEO of the Climate Leadership Coalition & Vice-Chairman of the Roundtable on climate policy in Finland

NECP: 3.4.5 Policies es and m measure res to promote te the role of local energy gy communities ties More active e involvem vement ent of stakeh kehold older ers s at l local and region onal level els s will be ensured initially by drawing up both the Susta tainabl ble e Energy rgy Action on Plans and the Action on Plans for Energy rgy Efficien ency cy of Buildings gs under the responsibility of region ons s and municipaliti ties es and then by implementing the proposed interventions with support ort from targete ted financi cing programmes es under the regional operational programmes for the new programming period. These may also make a crucial contribution towards specific policy measures, such as promoti ting g energy gy servi vices ces in the public secto tor r through specific demonstration projects, facilitating obliged parties in the context of the obligation scheme through the concentration of candidate energy savings projects and the development of Susta tainabl ble e Urban Mobility ty Plans s and a shift in transport operations. Finally, focus should be given to actions aimed at ensuring that the energy gy communiti ties es scheme contributes both to the use of waste to produce electricity or biomethane for use in transport, as well as to the implementation of energy upgrading projects by the use of recyclable materials

INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION IDEAS, ISNPIRATION, LESSONGS
IN THE END, HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO INTEGRATE LOCAL WITH NATIONAL ENERGY PLANS? • there are common goals • there are common actions • there are many convergences • there are many tools • there are many collaborations IT SEEMS THERE IS MULTI-LEVEL COOPERATION WHICH WORKS AD HOC BUT … INSTITUTIONAL ENFORCEMENT IS REQUIRED There are many gaps
AND THEN, EVERYTHING STOPPED…. (FOR A WHILE)
AND THEN, WE GOT BACK IN TRACK INTERNAL COOPERATION, COACHING PARATICIPATORY PLANNING
AND WE RE-CONNETCED AND ARE INSPIRING EACH OTHER INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION IDEAS, ISNPIRATION, LESSONGS
AND GOT BACK TO GLOBAL PLANNING
Urgent, direct, obvious, easy to understand threat/vs slow, long-lasting threat Both are major global health, wellbeing, and economic challenges, primarily to vulnerable population Both demand personal and local action Both bring to the fore crucial questions of equity, economics, the role of public institutions and the different responses of individualistic and collective cultures 1 Both have provoked tensions, skeptics and conspiracy therories, and revealed social shortages In both communicators face a juggling act of competing economic, scientific and moral priorities, and 'the science' doesn't straightforwardly answer the question of how to take action in response. Converting complex scientific data into simple and engaging messaging is challenging, particularly when the problem is hard to visualise 2 Spence, A., Poortinga, W., Butler, C. & Pidgeon, N. F.
