Climate Alliance’s work recognised - SEAP_Alps project finalist of the RegioStar Award!

The Alpine Space project SEAP_Alps has been selected as a finalist of the RegioStar Award in the “Energy Union: Climate action” category. The award is bestowed by European Commission for good practices and innovative projects in regional development.

The SEAP_Alps method for the integration of climate change mitigation and adaptation is based on Climate Alliance’s 15 years of experience in the field. As a project partner, Climate Alliance developed the training materials specifically for the Alpine region. The project made a common method for energy and climate planning available to municipalities.

In order to support the Alpine Space decision makers in drafting the Sustainable Energy Action Plans (SEAPs) for their own communities, SEAP_Alps provided a knowledge transfer and capacity building platform. The project also saw the testing of a new public-private investment concept, which helped municipalities meet energy-efficiency requirements for buildings.
