Join the new Community group on energy transition in rural areas!

Why join?

  • Bridge knowledge gaps: rural municipalities often lack sufficient technical capacity to design inclusive energy policies. The group will support them in co-designing socially just energy plans that meet the needs of all citizens, including those most vulnerable.
  • Build a learning community: group members will form a Community of Practice that fosters peer learning, discusses challenges, and co-creates solutions aligned with energy and climate goals.
  • Share tools and good practices: access to resources, policy recommendations, and case studies that enhance capacity and promote meaningful energy policy aligned with local realities. 

Also on the topic of rural energy transition: Good Practice Webinar highlights reportevent videos and presentations – and the latest Rural Pact resources: news, upcoming events, publications, and Good Practices.

Explore our other Community Groups – on topics such as Smart Villages, youth, rural repopulation, and more – and join the debate!
