Capacity Building Programme for Clean Energy Transition

The document is a report detailing the Capacity Building Programme (CBP) under the LIFE22-CET-Step-WISE project, which aims to empower Local Regional Authorities (LRAs) in Europe to effectively design and implement Clean Energy Transition Plans (CETPs). The project aligns with the European Union's objective of achieving climate neutrality by 2050, with interim targets for 2030, including significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and increased reliance on renewable energy. The CBP addresses challenges faced by smaller municipalities and rural areas, which often lack resources and expertise. It provides a structured training program designed to enhance the capabilities of LRAs through a two-wave cascade approach. The first wave focuses on training consortium partners, while the second wave involves disseminating knowledge to local authorities. The report outlines the methodology, training activities, and evaluation procedures, emphasizing the importance of experiential learning and the use of a technical toolkit to support the energy transition.
