SUMMARY:Citizen's Energy: Making Energy Democracy Happen (Brussels)
DESCRIPTION:Context \nThis conference is part of the Green European Foundation Energy Democracy transnational project\, which aims to explore the potential of an energy transition for Europe and how to shape this process in a democratic\, participatory way.  \nEurope has to change its energy system into a fully renewable one to transition to a sustainable economy and to establish a real climate policy. This is a major challenge for every Member State of the European Union\, but will only succeed if the states work together.  \nEuropean citizens are already playing an active role\, together with governments at different levels\, as they are organising themselves in national energy cooperatives and also the European Federation REScoop.  \nStudies show that by 2050\, around 45% of all EU households could be producing their own renewable energy\, more than a third could come through renewable energy cooperatives. This constitutes a huge opportunity for regional economic development\, as locally-owned renewable energy projects deliver eight times the value of projects that are owned by private companies not from the area. However\, the reality in the different Member States is extremely diverse. While the contribution of citizens’ Energy co-ops and local communities is well recognized in Western Europe\, the situation in Eastern Europe is quite the opposite.  \nSee also the publication that was produced for this project: Community Energy in UK.  \nAbout the event \nOur energy system is outdated in many ways: fossil fuel based and thus unsustainable\, technocratic\, and dominated by a few big market players. But over the last few decades\, citizens have been developing an alternative system that is renewable\, decentralised and democratic. \nThe development of renewable energy cooperatives demonstrates what citizens are capable of\, especially when they are supported by a partner state\, one that develops a stimulating legal framework and offers smart incentives. \nHow can we strengthen this transition to an energy system of the future? This conference will bring together contributors from GEF partners\, energy cooperatives and energy sectors to discuss renewable energy potential on both a European and local level.   \nSpeakers \n\nDirk Holemans\, coordinator Oikos Think Tank\nDirk Vansintjan\, President REScoop.eu\nElise Steyaert\, from local climate cooperation Klimaan and VEB (Vlaams Energie Bedrijf)  \nClaire Roumet\, Director Energy Cities \nJohan Daenen\, Member of Flemish Parliament \nBob d’Haeseller\, Green Party in Eeklo (BE)\nAnne Chapman\, Director Green House Think Tank (UK)\nAurélie Maréchal\, Director Green European Foundation\n\nProgramme\n17:00 – Welcome by Aurélie Maréchal\, Director of Green European Foundation\n17:10 – Stage setting by Dirk Holemans\, coordinator at Oikos think tank\n17:30 – Local and citizen iniatatives with Elise Steyaert (Klimaan)\, Dirk Vansintjan (REScoop)\, Bob d’Haeseleer (Groen Eeklo)\n18:30 – Q&A\n19:00 – Coffee break and snacks\n19:30 – Role of governments with Claire Roumet (Energy Cities)\, Johan Daenen (Member of Flemish Parliament)\, Anne Chapman (Green House Think Tank)\n20:30 – Q&A \nTickets for the event can be purchased from the Oikos website here.

SUMMARY:Towards a New Climate (Katowice)
DESCRIPTION:Context\nCOP24 in Katowice will be decisive as one of its tasks is to work out and adopt decisions to ensure the implementation of the Paris Agreement. At the same time\, the Polish government has stated its objective to use the opportunity of the 2018 Climate Summit Poland to demonstrate how neutrality in terms of greenhouse gas emissions\, i.e. a balance between CO2 emissions and its sequestration by soils and forests\, can be attained. This sends a fatal message to the broader public as it creates the impression that ever-growing CO2 emissions around the world could be absorbed naturally\, which impedes debate and progress towards a zero carbon future. In this context\, a clear response to the Polish government’s stance on climate change and mitigation is needed. \nAbout the event\nIn early 2018\, we kicked off our transnational project “Towards COP24 in Poland” to raise awareness about climate issues among the Polish population and EU citizens in general in the run up to the Climate Summit in Katowice. The project highlight will be a one-day event in the second week of COP24 in Katowice organised with the support of all project partners to challenge the current policies by EU member states\, share best practices and present sustainable\, fair and just approaches that respect the ecological boundaries of our planet while having a good life for all people in mind. \nTopics:\n1. Just transition of mining regions – organised with the support of Heinrich Böll Foundation in Warsaw and Fundacja Strefa Zieleni\, Poland \n2. Potential green jobs as a result of climate oriented transition – organised with the support of Green House Think Tank\, UK \n3. “Zero net emissions” – are carbon removals effective enough – organised with the support of Green Economics Institute\, UK \n4. Why nuclear energy is a false solution for a climate oriented energy transition – organised with the support of Fondation de l’Écologie Politique \nProgramme\n09:30 – 10:00: Opening of the conference: \n\nLucile Schmid\, Green European Foundation\nEwa Sufin-Jacquemart\, Director\, Fundacja Strefa Zieleni\nMałgorzata Tracz\, Co-Chair\, Polish Green Party\n\n10:00 – 10:30: Introduction \n\nBas Eickhout\, Member of the European Parliament\, The Greens / EFA\nVideo by GGEP on coal transition\n\n10:30 – 12:00: Just Transition of Mining Regions \nNot only in Poland\, but also in various parts of some European countries\, coal and lignite mining are an important part of local identity\, culture and economy. \nHowever\, for economic and ecological reasons\, in the coming decade(s) coal regions and communities must shift away from a coal-based economy. In this process\, they need to deeply restructure their economy and find new future perspectives for their citizens. \nWhat are the economic and social challenges in the ecological modernisation of these regions? Could the possible decarbonisation strategies be useful in different coal regions? \nHow to include different actors in creating a common vision of the future while building concrete development strategies? How to address a changing job market and a need to build a competitive economy while empowering people to pursue change? To what extent could renewable energy become an answer to these questions? \nPanellists: \n\nAnnalena Baerbock\, Chairwoman of Bündnis 90/Die Grünen\, Germany\nMarcin Bazylak\, Mayor of Dąbrowa Górnicza\, Poland (tbc)\nMiłka Stępień\,  Member of National Council\, Polish Green Party\, Konin\, Poland\nAndrzej Błachowicz\, Managing Director\, Climate Strategies\, London\nMonika Paca\, Galeria Szyb Wilson\, Katowice\, Poland\nJan Bondaruk\, Deputy Director for Environmental Engineering\, Central Mining Institute\, Katowice\n\nModeration:  \n\nPatryk Białas\, Director of Innovation and Competence Centre in  EURO-CENTRUM Science and Technology Park and President of BoMiasto Association\, local councillor in Katowice\n\n12:00 – 13:30: Potential Green Jobs as a Result of Green Transition  \n(in conjunction with the project partners of GEF’s transnational project Strengthening Climate Targets\, Creating Local Climate Jobs) \nMeeting the challenge of climate change requires structural changes to the economy so that it is no longer dependent on fossil fuels. Different consumption and production patterns will lead to a loss of traditional jobs\, but a large number of new jobs will also have to be created to accomodate the changed needs of our societies. \nThis panel will discuss the research done by GEF throughout the past years that has led to a model to estimate the number of jobs that would be created in key sectors of the economy. \nDuring the event\, the research report will be launched that summarises estimates for three EU member states – UK\, Ireland and Hungary – and shows that increasing ambition on climate targets and transitioning the economy towards zero-carbon would result in a net increase in jobs all over the country\, helping to rebalance the economy. \nThe debate will take into account the implications the research will have on a policy level\, including input from Professor Jan Popczyk from the Silesian University of Technology\, who will present results of his own metrics applied to Poland. It will also complement theory with real achievements in Germany and Spain. \nPanellists: \n\nPeter Sims\, Green House Think Tank\, UK\nAnja Siegesmund\, Minister of Environment\, Energy and Nature Protection of Thuringia\, Gemany\nFlorent Marcellesi\, MEP\, The Greens/EFA in the EP\nProfessor Jan Popczyk\, Silesian University of Technology\, Poland\n\nCommentary: \n\nThomas Simpson\, Green Foundation\, Ireland\n\nModeration: \n\nJohnathan Essex\, Green House Think Tank\, UK\n\n13:30 – 14:30: Lunch Break  \n14:30 – 16:00: Zero Net Emissions – Are Carbon Removals Effective Enough? \nTechnological solutions (like carbon capture and storage – CCS) and environmental solutions\, in particular in land use\, agriculture and climate-friendly forest management\, are important steps towards achieving carbon neutrality. \nThis debate will focus on political will\, scientific evidence and results of experimenting with various solutions based on carbon sinks\, as well as scientific vailidity of methods used for assessing the amount of CO2 removed from the atmosphere. \nAt the same time\, this panel will point to structural changes our societies will have to undergo to achieve the Paris Agreement’s objective of limiting a temperature rise to 2°C or even 1.5°C: phase out of fossil fuels\, change the logic inherent to our agricultural and food system\, etc. \nPanellists: \n\nOlivier De Schutter\, Former United Nations Special Rapporteur on the right to food (video)\nMichal Wilczynski\, Poland’s former National Chief Geologist\, energy expert\nMiriam Kennet\, Green Economics Institute\, UK\nClaire Weill\, INRA\, “4 for 1000’ initiative\, FR\nKrzysztof Cibor\, Greenpeace Poland\nNada Zaarour\, Green Party of Lebanon\n\nModeration:  \n\nEwa Sufin-Jacquemart\, Fundacja Strefa Zieleni\n\n16:00 – 17:30: Why Nuclear Energy is a False Solution for a Climate-Oriented Energy Transition \nPoland is in the process of deciding whether to build its first nuclear power station. The public is divided\, but the studies of locations\, technologies\, partners and investors nevertheless continue. \nDuring this panel\, it will be discussed whether nuclear energy is really the answer to the decarbonisation challenge and explore more sustainable solutions.

SUMMARY:Ecopolis 2018: Just Transition (Brussels)
DESCRIPTION:Context\nIs it possible to bring about fundamental changes to our societies while still respecting the boundaries of our planet and offering opportunities to develop for everyone? Is it possible to realise a Just Transition – across diverse sectors of society such as food\, work\, transport\, energy etc. – in a increasingly polarised and inequitable world? \nFacing this challenge will require far reaching changes of an unseen scale and speed while at the same time not leaving a part of the population behind. \nHow can social justice be strengthened and ecological sustainability be fostered at the same time? For a just transition\, this seeming contradiction has to be resolved and cooperation in a superdiverse society must be realised\, so everyone can have equal access to a valuable job\, payable and sustainable housing\, food and energy. \nAbout the event\nEcopolis is an annual day gathering people who are concerned with the transition to a socio-ecological society. Because ecological challenges cross national and language boundaries\, Ecopolis is diverse\, international and interactive\, with the Green European Foundation contributing to a strong European dimension of the event. \nThe event invites national and international authors to debate the transition of our societies. Academics\, writers and civil society thinkers meet to enter into a constructive and open dialogue. Besides lectures\, debates and interviews\, there is an extensive book-fair with multilingual\, ecological books and an internationally acclaimed documentary on the environment will be screened. \nSpeakers will include: \nKate Raworth\, Economist and author of “Doughnut Economics – 7 Ways to Think Like a 21st-Century Economist” \nRachida Lamrabet\, Novellist and author of “Vrouwland”\, “Een kind van God” and others \nJeroen Theunissen\, Writer and teacher at RITCS Brussels\, author of “De omwegen” “Onschuld” and others \nSharan Burrow\, General Secretary of the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) \nAlberto Alemanno\, Professor of EU Law at HEC Paris and Global Professor of Law at the New York University School of Law\, Co-Founder and Director of The Good Lobby \nLaurien Spruyt\, Policy Officer ‘Mobility and Climate’ at Bond Beter Leefmilieu\, Co-Creator of UGent1010 and former Campaign Coordinator of Climate Express \nJean-Pascal van Ypersele\, Climatologist and Professor of Environmental Sciences at the Catholic University of Louvain \nYasmien Naciri\, Marekting & Communication Entrepreneur\, Columnist and author\, Chairwoman of Amana n-pa and Fleks \n  \nProgramme\n11:00: The uncomfortable consumer: on a diet in the candy store \nIt’s a challenge\, trying to live an environmentally conscious life\, while society constantly tempts you to cheap city trips or cheap clothing. While each of us is muddling along\, the temptation is systemic. Transition will only succeed if we tackle it structurally and if politicians dare to stick their necks out (government role\, ‘moralising technology’).\nTheatrical performers Anoek Nuyens and Rebekka de Wit present us their Monologue For A Consumer. Followed by a panel with\, among others\, Laurien Spruyt\, policy officer Bond Beter Leefmilieu\, and Jeroen Theunissen\, author of Jouw Huid (‘Your Skin’). \n12:15: Relay talks: citizens in action\, from May ’68 ’til today \nWith which actions can citizens contribute to speeding up the transition? By lobbying as much as possible with the European institutions\, and/or organising protest actions and blocking lignite plants? How does today’s action differ from a few decades ago?\nWith Yasmien Naciri\, a young entrepreneur and author of Wij nemen het heft in handen\, Samuel Cogolati\, researcher at KULeuven and activist in the domain of the commons\, Lenny Peeters\, laureate of the Bronzen Uil prize for best debut novel in Dutch\, and Paul Goossens\, journalist for De Standaard. \n13:30: The connection between identity debate\, inequality and the ecological issue \nFrom the perspective of social ecology\, the ecological crisis\, which is the result of the idea that man has to dominate nature\, is connected with the domination of one person over the other.\nA debate with among others Rachida Lamrabet\, author of Zwijg allochtoon\, Leo Lucassen\, migration expert and professor at Leiden University\, and Aziza El Miamouni from Wijkacademie Molenbeek. \n15:00: Just Transition – The proof is in the eating \n‘To change everything it takes everyone’\, a just transition is about both decent jobs\, climate policy as well as a just society. An interesting dialogue between trade union\, industry and research community. With the economist Kate Raworth\, author of The Doughnut Economy\, Sharan Burrow\, Secretary-General of the International Trade Union Confederation\, and Thomas Leysen\, Chairman of Umicore & KBC. Moderated by Karel Verhoeven (chief editor at De Standaard) \n16:00: Grand Tour 2020 \nPieter Van Bogaert talks with Guy Gypens\, director of Kaaitheater\, about his book Grand Tour 2020 – the report of a trip through ten European cities where he talked to ten artists about their ecological commitment (as an artist and as a citizen). The book is the final document of ten years of ‘Imagine 2020’\, a European collaboration on art and ecology founded by Kaaitheater in 2008. \n16:30: Does the climate summit of Poland tackle the challenges? \nTwo weeks after ECOPOLIS\, the COP24 climate summit will take place in Poland\, the country that still largely runs on coal(mines). What can we expect from this COP? What does ‘Just Transition’ mean for workers in polluting industries?

SUMMARY:Shaping the Energy Sector in Europe (Athens)
DESCRIPTION:CONTEXT\nThis conference is part of the Green European Foundation Energy Democracy transnational project\, which aims to explore the potential of an energy transition for Europe and how to shape this process in a democratic\, participatory way. \nEurope has to change its energy system into a fully renewable one to transition to a sustainable economy and to establish a real climate policy. This is a major challenge for every Member State of the European Union\, but will only succeed if the states work to together. \nEuropean citizens are already playing an active role\, together with governments at different levels\, as they are organising themselves in national energy cooperatives and also the European Federation REScoop. \nStudies show that by 2050\, around 45% of all EU households could be producing their own renewable energy\, and more than a third could come through renewable energy cooperatives. This constitutes a huge opportunity for regional economic development\, as locally-owned renewable energy projects deliver eight times the value of projects that are owned by private companies not from the area. \nThe reality in the different Member States is however extremely diverse. While the contribution of citizens’ Energy co-ops and local communities is well recognized in Western Europe\, the situation in Eastern Europe is quite the opposite. \nPROGRAMME\n10:30 – 11:00: Arrival of attendees\n \n11:00 – 11:05: Opening statement from the panel \n11:05 – 12:00: Welcome and opening addresses: \n\nKostas Diakos\, Green Institute President\nSocratis Famellos\, Vice-Minister Energy and Environment\nMimis Dimitriadis\, MP SYRIZA\, Chair of Parliamentarian Committee on Economy and Development\nManolis Vemis\, Coordinator of the Executive Secretariat – Greek Green Party (Οικολογοι Πρασινοι)\nPolitical parties representatives (tbc)\n\n12:00 – 14:00: First round of speakers: \nLegislative Framework of Energy Co-ops: \n\nMichalis Verroiopoulos\, Secretary of Energy Ministry of Environment and Energy\n\nChange of Energy Production and Consumption Model as a Prerequisite for a Sustainable and Democratic Future: \n\nGiorgos Dimaras\, Deputy Minister Energy and Environment\, MP SYRIZA Greek Green Party\n\nApplication of Energy Co-ops in Sustainable Agriculture: \n\nGiannis Tsironis\, former Alternate Minister of Agriculture\, MP SYRIZA Greek Green Party\n\nLessons from Community Energy in the UK: \n\nAnne Chapman\, Director of Green House UK Think Tank\, Director of Morecambe Bay Community Renewables\n\nThere will also be opportunities for Q&As from the audience. \n14:00 – 14:40: Buffet Lunch \n14:30 – 17:00: Second round of speakers: \nThe Transformation to Energy Democracy: \n\nMerlijn De Rijcke\, OIKOS Think Tank Belgium\n\nPresentation of the Energy Cooperative Project of Sifnos Island: \n\nGiannis Ghillis\, engineer\n\nPresentation of the Energy Cooperative Project of Tilos Island: \n\nGiannis Kaldelis\, engineer\n\nApplying Energy Efficiency Principles – Possibilities for the Greek City: \n\nNikos Samaras\, architect MSC\, lecturer at the Thessaly Technological Institute\n\nRecycling and Energy Democracy: \n\nChristina Efthimiatou\, chemical engineer\, board member of the Hellenic Recycle Agency EOAN\, co-spokesperson of the Greek Green Party (Οικολόγοι Πράσινοι)\n\nThere will also be opportunities for Q&As from the audience. \n17:30 – 18:00: Closing statements from international guests & panellists  \n\nThis event is open to all who would like to attend.

SUMMARY:Change of Climate in the World of Jobs? (Budapest)
DESCRIPTION:Context\nWith a changing climate\, many traditional jobs will be lost all over Europe\, as a just transition to less carbon emission intensive industries and a green economy is inevitable. Innovative policy proposals will be necessary to create new jobs that do not threaten the emission reduction targets as they have been agreed in the Paris Climate Agreement from 2015. \nAbout the event\nAs part of the transnational project “Strengthening Climate Targets\, Creating Local Climate Jobs”\,  this conference will feature a first presentation of the local job creation potential in Hungary in a zero carbon society that has been estimated as part of this year’s project research. Together with the data gathered on the United Kingdom and Ireland\, this estimation will be a first step towards quantifying and publicising the EU-wide potential of greening local economies to create new climate jobs\, and better address climate change\, in the run-up to COP24. \nProgramme\n17:00 – 17:20 PRESENTATION OF THE GEF TRANSNATIONAL PROJECT AND RESEARCH RESULTS – Jonathan Essex\, Green House Think Tank United Kingdom \n17:20 – 17:40 4th INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION: REDUCE OR INCREASE EMISSIONS? – Miklós Kis\, Journalist \n17:40 – 18:00 CLIMATE CHANGE AND SOCIAL JUSTICE – Sándor Fülöp Phd\, Co-chair of Ökopolisz \n18:00 – 18:15 COFFEE BREAK \n18:15 – 19:30 Q & A\, DISCUSSION \nRegistration\nTo register for the event\, please click here. \n\nStay tuned for updates on the programme here and via our Twitter and Facebook channels.

SUMMARY:Cooperative Society (Skopje)
DESCRIPTION:Context\nAt the beginning of 2018\, a publication\, The Revision of the Economy in the Balkans: Change Policy\, Not Climate\, as well as a green economy manual\, was published as part of the transnational project carried out by Green European Foundation supported by Blue Link Bulgaria\, Sunrise Macedonia and Networked Serbia. \nThe research done in the previous years has shown immense potential and pointed out the fact that these national economies are currently going in a different direction: subsidising multinational companies and mega infrastructure projects in privatizing natural resources. \nA process of political centralisation\, by taking competences from the local level and exclusion of the citizens from the economic and social decisions is evident. In this political environment\, the only possible solution is a creation of bottom-up\, self-organized\, citizens’ initiatives with a purpose of association of labor and services. The countries of the region have their own historical legacy of a cooperative economy in socialism\, which is now in a process of renewal. \nAbout the event\nThe Green European Foundation\, with the support of ASSED Sunrise\, is organising this international conference “Greening the Economy: Cooperative Society”. \nThe conference will explore the policies relating to the development of the green economy in the region and discuss topics including green procurement\, renewable energy and green jobs. \nIt will also serve as a platform for an exchange of knowledge and a chance to promote green policies in the region\, with the aim to raise awareness among stakeholders\, politicians\, and the general public for the economic potential of a Green Economy. \nAs part of the event\, there will be a promotion of the 2017 Green European Foundation study “Revision of the Economies in the Balkans: CHANGE POLICY NOT CLIMATE!” \, which is the result of trans-border cooperation and research in Macedonia\, Serbia and Bulgaria. \nProgramme\n09:30 – 10:30: Arrival of participants and speakers \n10:30 – 11:00: Registration and welcome coffee \n11:00 – 11:15: Opening: \n\nModerating: Maja Morachanin MP\nAleksandar Gjorgjievski\, transnational coordinator\n\nShort presentation of the 2018 project \n\nASSED Sunrise – Skopje\,\n\n11:15 – 11:30: Presentation of 2017 GEF Publication: Revision of the Economies in the Balkans: Change Policy Not Climate \n\nHristina Odzaklievska\, Head Researcher\, Macedonia\nZaklina Zivkovic\, Networked\, National Coordinator\, Serbia\n\n11:30 – 12:00: Public Policies Towards a Green Economy in the Republic of Macedonia \n\nLjiljana Popovska\, MP\n\n12:00 – 12:30: Coffee break \n12:30 – 14:00: Panel: Green Economy – Cooperative Society \n\nAna Petrovska\, State Secretary of the Ministry of Environment Planning\n\nOpen Cooperatives as a Driving Force of the Economic Transformation \n\nDirk Holemans\, Oikos\, Belgium\nIva Marković\, PolEkol\, Serbia\n\n14:00 – 15:00: Lunch \n\nRegistration\nTo register for this event\, please contact Aleksandar Gjorgjievski aleksgo@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Climate Jobs - Towards a Zero-Carbon Economy (Bristol)
DESCRIPTION:Context\nWith the consequences of climate change being evermore perceptible through extreme weather events (both worldwide and in European countries)\, verifiable research is urgently needed to set targets and policies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions by the amount necessary to secure a livable environment. At the same time\, policies to reduce greenhouse emissions are often attacked for threatening existing jobs. \nGEF’s transnational project “Strengthening Climate Targets\, Creating Local Climate Jobs” sets out to explore what greenhouse emissions reductions would mean in practical terms for our job markets and economies\, and whether jobs could be created in rural areas across Europe. Can both a safe and just economically sound life for all be achieved? To this end\, our project undertook research on the potential to create more climate jobs in three EU countries with diverse historic and economic prerequisites: United Kingdom\, Ireland and Hungary. \nAbout the event\nThis upcoming side event at the Autumn Conference of the Green Party of England and Wales will offer an introduction to the GEF transnational project. In particular\, it will present the results of modelling to estimate the net number of jobs that could be created in each local authority area of the United Kingdom\, via the transition to a zero carbon economy\, in the key sectors of energy\, transport\, waste management\, buildings and food\, farming\, and forestry. \nDuring the event\, the overall GEF project as well as the research findings and resulting policy recommendations for the United Kingdom will be presented by: \nJonathan Essex\, Green House Think Tank \nAnne Chapman\, Green House Think Tank \nChaired by: Natalie Bennett\, Board Member Green European Foundation and former Leader of the Green Party of England and Wales \n\nFor more information on this workshop and the Autumn Conference of the Green Party of England and Wales from 5 to 7 October in Bristol\, you can find the programme here. \nFor updates and other upcoming events of this GEF transnational project\, follow us on Twitter and Facebook.

SUMMARY:Shaping the Energy Sector in Europe (Skopje)
DESCRIPTION:Context\nThis conference is part of the Green European Foundation Energy Democracy transnational project\, which aims to explore the potential of an energy transition for Europe and how to shape this process in a democratic\, participatory way. \nEurope has to change its energy system into a fully renewable one to transition to a sustainable economy and to establish a real climate policy. This is a major challenge for every Member State of the European Union\, but will only succeed if the states work to together. \nEuropean citizens are already playing an active role\, together with governments at different levels\, as they are organising themselves in national energy cooperatives and also the European Federation REScoop. \nStudies show that by 2050\, around 45% of all EU households could be producing their own renewable energy\, more than a third could come through renewable energy cooperatives. This constitutes a huge opportunity for regional economic development\, as locally-owned renewable energy projects deliver eight times the value of projects that are owned by private companies not from the area. The reality in the different Member States is however extremely diverse. While the contribution of citizens’ Energy co-ops and local communities is well recognized in Western Europe\, the situation in Eastern Europe is quite the opposite. \nAbout the event\nThe conference will bring together contributors from GEF partners\, energy cooperatives and energy sectors to discuss renewable energy potential on both a Europe and local level. \nProgramme\n09:30 – 10:30:  Arrival of participants and speakers \n10:30 – 11:00:  Registration and welcome coffee \n11:00 – 11:15: Opening:  \n\nShort presentation of the 2018 project\nAleksandar Gjorgjievski\, national coordinator\nASSED Sunrise\, Skopje  \n\n11:15 – 12:00: Presentation:  The Transformation to Energy Democracy \n\nDirk Holemans\, transnational coordinator Oikos\, Belgium\n\n12:00 – 12:30: Coffee break \n12:30 – 13:10: Energy Cooperatives in Europe \n\nQuest from ReScoop\n\n13:10 – 13:40: Energy Sector in Macedonia and the Region – Current & Future Perspective  \n\nErvin Redjepagikj\n\n13:40 – 14:00: Renewable Energy \n\nAleksandar Hristu Kanevce\n\n14:00 – 15:00: Discussion on Energy Democracy – with the speakers  \n15:00 – 16:00:   Lunch  \n\nRegistration\nTo register for this event\, please contact Aleksandar Gjorgjievski aleksgo@gmail.com.
