ENTRACK is setting up 4 Communities of Practice (CoP) in Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain and 1 European!
ENTRACK Communities of Practice are online collaborative groups in which local actors, experts, local representatives and other interested and committed parties come together to discuss, exchange experiences and support each other in promoting sustainable energy transitions in rural Mediterranean areas.
Our goal is to create spaces for learning, discussion, and joint action. Each CoP is being established in different regions, involving over 500 participants from diverse backgrounds, including ENTRACK partners, local projects and organizations working on energy transition.
Being part of the ENTRACK CoP gives you access to valuable knowledge, experiences and best practices. It also provides networking opportunities connecting you with professionals, experts, and others interested in the energy transition.
Objectives:
- Empowerment: We aim to empower rural decision-makers to undertake energy transitions that benefit their communities, placing emphasis on social and environmental sustainability.
- Knowledge Sharing: By promoting the exchange of experiences and lessons learnt, we help to drive the energy transition in rural areas, ensuring no community is left behind.
- Networking: We connect a network of committees, individuals, and organizations across the territory, fostering collaboration and promoting sustainable energy through the creation of effective energy policies.
This is for you if:
- You are part of the regional government, a municipal council, or a rural town hall.
- You are an academic, researcher, or expert in energy, environmental science, or climate change.
- You work for a public or private business, NGO, or local action group on energy solutions.
Participating in a CoP offers numerous benefits that include:
- Joining a network, where participants can share their experiences and learn from one another.
- Acquire knowledge on how rural municipalities can foster energy transition plans with a social perspective.
- Benefit from ENTRACK’s learning and tools.
- Access to project resources for a just energy transition and capacity building on energy transition topics.
- A Country-specific online platform.
- Clear guidelines for social energy transitions.
Join us in empowering local authorities in rural areas to design and implement energy policies that are socially inclusive and environmentally sustainable. Together, we can make a significant impact on rural energy transitions and create a brighter, more sustainable future for all.
