AGENDA

Energy neutrality is a hot topic these days. We are all involved in it in some way from some perspective. In cooperation with the Municipality of Delft (SESAC), the Municipality of Apeldoorn and KEMA (project partners in SORCER) invite you to join the I love Energy Neutral conference. Among others, we are greatly anticipating participants from European communities, CONCERTO partners of EU projects and their observer communities. We would also like to invite interested international parties such as real estate developers, climate alliance partners, NGOs, utilities, housing associations, energy agencies, research institutes as well as local residents to contribute to the discussion.

Leaflet of the conference

Organisé par le Centre de Recherches Energétiques et Municipales (CREM) ; Energy Center, EPFL, ce séminaire vise à aborder les questions suivantes :
- Qu’entend-on exactement par planification énergétique territoriale ? Quelles articulations entre la théorie et la pratique ? Comment cette approche s’est-elle peu à peu imposée dans les politiques «énergie-climat » en Europe et en Suisse ?
- Quelles composantes énergétiques et technologiques figurent dans une telle approche ?
- Quelles dimensions recouvre cette approche et en quoi peut-elle être un outil d’aide à la décision pour les décideurs des collectivités publiques ?
- Quels exemples de bonnes pratiques en matière de planification énergétique territoriale au niveau européen et suisse ?
- Quelles potentialités et quelles limites dans le développement d’une telle approche pour les collectivités publiques ?

Gérard Magnin, Délégué Général d’ Energy Cities, participera au débat et en fera la synthèse.

Energy Cities est partenaire de cet évènement.

The fossil free society is underway and cities have a unique opportunity to link growth and sustainability. Cities are already taking many initiatives in energy, transportation, building and land use to reduce carbon footprints and address the connected environmental challenges of global warming, pollution and energy dependence and to spark green economic growth.

The opportunity is real but many challenges exist and still many questions need to be answered about what cities can and should do to transform to the low carbon economy. How can cities make better use of clean energy and green building solutions to stimulate new jobs? What national policies can help create smart cities? How can cities and businesses work together and engage employees, citizens and wider communities to make sustainability flourish?

World Climate Solutions 2010 answers these questions, and puts city and business leaders together with the governmental decision makers and experts to create solutions for the smart cities of the future.
