Propozycja projektu z prowincji Potenza (Włochy)
We are searching partners with competences on the themes of EU LOW CARBON strategies.
LOCARBO Project
Due to its geographical exposure and levels of spending on energy the Province of Potenza in the
Southern Italian Basilicata Region has been long very active in developing and implementing an
integrated approach tackling climate change. The Province is committed to test and introduce
initiatives promoted by the European Community and the United Nations. The Province led a
successful previous INTERREG IVC project called RENERGY – Regional Strategies for Energy
Conscious Communities, which ended in Dec 2014. One of the focal areas of RENERGY was
emphasizing the role of local/regional governance bodies in developing/implementing sustainable
energy policies and furnish these bodies with sufficient competences, powers & knowledge. In this
thematic area the challenge to involve and motivate stakeholders (regarding especially energy
consumers) is perceived broadly as a major problem for public authorities. In fact, motivation and
awareness of consumers are of high significance to influence their behavior and support more
conscious energy decisions. In RENERGY, some bottom-up initiatives supporting end users behavior
change could have been explored only to a limited extent, therefore the Province intended to examine
further this topic through interregional cooperation. Partners facing comparable challenges were
sought through various channels with specific attention to the changed partner requirements of the
new Interreg Europe Programme. From the RENERGY partnership Durham County Council and
Kaunas University of Technology expressed their interest in participation, nevertheless the majority of
LOCARBO partners are new. A key issue in developing the partnership was the relevance of a
Structural Funds measure at each partner that needs be addressed during this new project together
with the capacity of the partner to influence the measure. Furthermore, partners with complementary
experience were looked for to secure meaningful content for the experience exchange. As part of
building the partnership partners provided inputs on their current situation and the relevance of the
project idea. It was jointly decided that the thematic focus would be narrowed down to the built
environment since it is relevant for all and significant improvements are envisaged in the respective
operational programmes in this field.
