This policy brief presents findings from ENTRACK’s participatory ethnographic research in the rural Mediterranean areas of Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain. Structural barriers significantly delay the adoption of energy efficiency measures.
ENTRACK’s “Climate Explorers” model demonstrated that involving citizens in data collection and community engagement encourages trust, awareness and behavioral change.
The brief outlines an integrated policy approach that combines technical and financial measures with socially grounded strategies.
This policy brief explains ENTRACK’s self-assessment activities conducted in the rural pilot areas of Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain, highlighting barriers to implementing inclusive energy transition strategies.
Local authorities report challenges, while the municipalities also express uncertainty in monitoring and cross-sectoral coordination revealing capacity gaps.
The brief describes the need for targeted training, simplified access to national and EU support schemes and inclusion in local energy plans.
This policy brief presents findings from the ENTRACK project’s taxonomy of social energy policies across the European Union, Portugal, Spain, Italy and Greece, focusing on the integration of social dimensions within energy and climate policy frameworks.
The policy brief specifically showcases a top-down policy development approach, with limited incorporation of local and regional perspectives, potentially hindering citizen engagement and policy effectiveness.
The taxonomy, also, identifies two types of policy relationships (parallel and direct) and highlights low frequencies of dedicated social/energy policies, in Mediterranean rural areas.
The Taxonomy of Social Energy Plans, Strategies, and Policies report by the ENTRACK project looks at how energy policies are set at different levels, from the European Union to local towns and cities. It focuses on how these policies aim to fight climate change and promote sustainable energy use, especially in Southern Mediterranean countries like Portugal, Spain, Italy, and Greece. The report explains how global agreements like the Paris Agreement and the UN’s 2030 Sustainability Agenda shape local energy policies.
It also points out that most policies are top-down, coming from the EU or national governments, but argues that local communities should play a bigger role. Another key issue is how different policies interact, sometimes leading to overlaps and inefficiencies.
To show real-world examples, the report highlights case studies from various regions:
Greece: Eastern Macedonia and Thrace, covering municipalities like Avdira and Topeiro
Italy: Campania and Naples
Portugal: Alto Alentejo, including Gavião and Ponte de Sor
Spain: Catalonia, including Barcelona, Girona, Osona, Gombrèn, Ripollès, and Sant Quirze de Besora
The Stakeholder Matrix and Pathways of Engagement report helps different groups collaborate on clean energy policies. It identifies key players—such as governments, businesses, universities, and local communities- and explores ways to involve them in decision-making. The report aims to create fair and effective energy policies across Portugal, Spain, Italy, and Greece, ensuring a smooth and just transition to cleaner energy.
The Report on Survey Results and Documentation of the Full Survey Database presents findings from extensive surveys in rural areas across Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Greece. It helps local and regional authorities develop better energy transition strategies by analyzing interviews and survey data. The report offers valuable insights into current energy policies and practices in these regions.
The Report on Perceptions, Needs, and Priorities of Citizens Concerning the Energy Transition examines how rural Mediterranean communities view energy use and sustainability. Based on extensive research in Greece, Italy, Portugal, and Spain, it explores how cultural and social factors influence community involvement and attitudes toward sustainable energy.
