Sustainable energy and climate strategies – lessons learned and potential for development (HEKSA)
The project is a cooperation with IEI/Environmental Technology and Management. The project runs between September 2011 - December 2012 and is funded by the Swedish Energy Agency.
This project is part of the research program within Sustainable Municipality project that is funded by the Swedish Energy Agency. Municipalities within the Sustainable Municipality project are required to adopt climate and energy strategies to clarify, prioritise and suggest measures connected to their fields of responsibility and activity. In order for municipalities to be prepared for future challenges regarding strategic energy issues, capacity building is necessary. One important field is the increasing demand for collaboration and networking with other societal actors. This project contributes to capacity building from a policy theoretical perspective by developing support that facilitates local authorities’ cooperation with other actors in relation to their energy strategies. This is valuable for the municipalities’ future efforts towards ambitious energy objectives. The project runs from September 2010 until December 2012.
