Resume

Projektets overordnede formål er en omstilling af 5 projektlande og ultimativt Østeuropa til bæredygtig energi, så energi-fattigdom elimineres og så der skabes jobs med vedvarende energi og energibesparelser. Det skal projektet bidrage til ved at de 5 partnere i Østeuropa udvikler og advokerer for bæredygtige energistrategier, herunder finder alianceparntere i landene til støtte til forslag og fælles advokering. Projekterne skal endvidere advokere for konkrete forslag til officielle strategier og evt. lovgivning. Indsatsen vil være rettet imod nationale regeringer i tre lande og kommuner i to lande. Projektet vil også bidrage til formålet via kapacitetsopbygning af civilsamfundet så det bedre kan advokere for bæredygtig energi. Det sker både nationalt og rettet mod hele Østeuropa v. nyhedsbreve, hjemmesider, workshop o.a. via International Network for Sustainable Energy (INFORSE) - Europa.
