How do our daily habits shape energy consumption? ⚡🌱

The European Commission launches the Energy Behaviour Forum, a platform exploring how behavioural change can drive the energy transition.

💡 Because it’s not just about technology — it’s about people.

Yesterday, @somosa3e (@LocalGoGreen ) and @trazaconsultora (#StepWISE) successfully hosted the #Spanish‑language webinar “Driving the Local Energy Transition: Lessons, Tools and Success Stories from LOCAL GoGREEN and Step‑WISE.”

The session brought together municipal leaders, technical staff, and sustainability professionals from across Europe to accelerate the advancement of local climate and energy strategies.

The event featured three expert speakers who shared valuable insights on practical tools, open platforms, and real success stories from European municipalities:
🎤 Penélope López González, European Project Manager – Step‑WISE
🎤 Guillermo J. Escobar, Certified Energy Manager & CEM Trainer – LOCAL GoGREEN
🎤 Francis Cerrato, representing the invited project LIFE-SMART

Participants explored key learnings from LOCAL GoGREEN, Step‑WISE, and Life‑SMART; discovered practical tools to support Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plans (#SECAPs); and examined inspirational case studies from:
🎤 #Ponferrada (#León), presented by Óscar Celá, Innovation Agent of the municipality
🎤 San Agustín de Guadalix (#Madrid), presented by Irene García from Comunidad CERES

Yesterday, the LOCAL GoGREEN Project celebrated its 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 in #Zagreb (#Croatia )

LOCAL GoGREEN partners and several rural municipalities gathered in a hybrid event, both in Zagreb and online, for a full day dedicated to collaboration and shared learning, under the theme:

“From Plans to Action: Delivering the Clean Energy Transition in Rural Municipalities.”

Organised as a hybrid event—with participants both on-site in Zagreb and connected online—this #transnational roundtable and regional assembly proved to be a highly participatory meeting, bringing together experts, local authorities, and practitioners in the #energytransition to explore:

🟢 Approaches to strengthening cooperation among rural #municipalities
🟢 Local obstacles encountered when implementing clean energy measures
🟢 Expert insights into building energy efficiency, renewable energy, land‑use challenges, and e‑mobility
🟢 A dedicated discussion on overcoming implementation barriers and the crucial role of inter‑municipal collaboration

The meeting marked an important milestone in supporting Europe’s rural areas as they advanced from strategy to tangible, on‑the‑ground action in the #greentransition.

LOCAL GoGREEN extends its special thanks to our partner Enerkon d.o.o. for their dedication in organising the event.

It was an inspiring day full of shared solutions, regional dialogue, and a strong collective commitment to a more sustainable future! 🌱

🌿 Progress in the @LocalGoGreen project Partner Meetings 🤝

💫 Yesterday marked an important milestone for the Local GoGREEN initiative as all project partners came together for a round of coordination and progress meetings in #Zagreb.

Our shared mission is to improve #sustainability in small and remote European municipalities, empowering local authorities to develop and implement effective #climate plans and #cleanenergy strategies.

👉 Throughout the day, all project partners actively participated in the meetings, including:
Enerkon d.o.o.
Local Energy Agency Spodnje Podravje
University of Tartu
ABERON OOD.
EIfI-Tech
@CNRsocial_
Dr. Jakob Energy Research GmbH & https://t.co/pcwQGxwAyS
@somosa3e

Each contributing their expertise to enrich the discussions and shape the next steps of the different Work Packages, aligning methodologies, sharing insights, and defining next steps.

🎯 In addition to the internal sessions, we also held a technical meeting with the municipality of #Karlovac, where local authorities shared first‑hand insights into the projects they have implemented. This exchange provided valuable real‑world perspectives that will help shape the upcoming phases of the Local GoGREEN project.

The day set a solid foundation for the work ahead, reinforcing our collective commitment to building more resilient, climate‑ready, and sustainable communities across Europe.

🌿 LOCAL GoGREEN Partners Meeting Underway in #Zagreb!

The LOCAL GoGREEN partners of the project are gathered this week in Zagreb, #Croatia, for a new partners meeting dedicated to advancing our shared mission of supporting greener, more resilient local communities.

🟢 One of the key objectives of the first day was a technical visit to a renewable energy facility that converts garden waste into clean heating energy for plant greenhouses.

Participants had the chance to see firsthand how this innovative biomass system transforms municipal gardening residues into hot water used for greenhouse heating, significantly reducing reliance on natural gas. A dedicated storage tank allows the system to regulate temperature according to real-time needs, ensuring both #energyefficiency and optimal conditions for plant cultivation.

But the visit was just the second part…
👉 First, the project partners started the day with an intensive working agenda throughout the meeting.
During the following sessions, they:
🔎 Reviewed the progress achieved across all Work Packages
🔎 Exchanged insights and assessed the challenges identified in recent months
🔎 Coordinated actions between the technical and local implementation teams
🔎 Defined the next steps and milestones to guide the upcoming phase of the project

This combination of local field learning and structured collaborative work is essential to keeping LOCAL GoGREEN aligned, impactful, and forward-moving.

🔌Stay tuned for more updates from Zagreb as the meeting continues!
