Highlights Report | Good Practice Webinar 'Rural areas in the energy transition'

This Good Practice Webinar brought together 61 participants – practitioners, public authorities, experts and researchers – representing 20 EU Member States and 3 non-EU countries. The event, organised in cooperation with the Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy Europe, was an opportunity to highlight EU-level initiatives and local  experiences that boost energy transition in rural areas, and to build the participants’ capacity and motivation to design and implement high-quality projects responding to the rural needs. It also stimulated exchange on how to foster and build renewable energy communities, to implement Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plans in rural areas, and how to drive positive change in energy poverty.
