Description:

Energy efficiency and production matter for cities, not only because of climate protection reasoning. Actors worldwide are increasingly realising the tangible benefits of saving energy and shifting to renewables: Public and private spending costs can be reduced; local development is boosted by default.

As joint efforts make life easier, the international exchange platform Connective Cities and its initiators, the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, the German Association of Cities and Engagement Global / Service Agency Communities in One World, organised the Dialogue Event on “Municipal Sustainable Energy Production and Efficiency: Planning and Implementing Innovative Solutions” in May 2016 in cooperation with the City of Würzburg, Germany.

More than 30 urban practitioners from Germany, South Africa, Tanzania, the Palestinian Territories, Jamaica, Serbia, Macedonia and Italy joined the event to present their good practices in energy efficiency and energy production.
