ESCALATE

The ESCALATE Project aims to speed up Europe’s shift to clean renewable energy by helping cities across the EU plan for more energy efficient heating and cooling.

The project focuses on towns with over 45,000 people, ensuring they have the tools and knowledge to create local heating and cooling plans that reduce energy use and support the environment.

ESCALATE empowers local communities to make their buildings sustainable, reduce pollution, and help Europe become climate-neutral by 2050 by providing expert training and a clear, easy-to-follow guide.

IEECP’s role will be on policy (producing policy briefs), sustainability, replication and exploitation of project results. IEECP has responsibilities in mobilising policy working groups in the local, national, EU levels and will be exploiting the H&C plans, structures as well as multi-level governance initiatives in the 8 project regions.

Furthermore, a capacity building programme will present the results of ESCALATE tools to wider audiences for replication. A large final event, workshops and 4 webinars will be organised showcase the project learnings.
