Various projects ensure local and regional stakeholders can be guided towards a just energy and climate transition, by sharing solutions supporting communities and regions across Europe to become more resilient to climate change, or to integrate the right elements and dialogue into planning.
Until now, the IN-PLAN Practice was only available as a static PDF. While it offered comprehensive content, navigating the document and accessing linked resources could be time-consuming and less intuitive. With the Digital Practice, that changes.
This newly developed online platform offers an interactive, user-friendly experience that allows users to explore the IN-PLAN Practice with greater ease and flexibility. Whether you’re a planner, policymaker, project developer, or stakeholder in the renewable energy transition, the Digital Practice is designed to help you find what you need faster, engage with the content more deeply, and access key tools and resources in just a few clicks.
The Digital Practice introduces a range of new features designed to enhance usability and accessibility. With seamless navigation, users can browse through sections effortlessly using an intuitive menu and internal links, eliminating the need for endless scrolling. An enhanced layout and improved typography also contribute to a more enjoyable and readable experience. Most importantly, the digital format is future-ready, allowing for quicker updates so users always have access to the most current information and resources.

Welcome to SYNERGISE+, an innovative and practical Excel-based tool designed to help decision-makers prioritize actions from Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plans (SECAPs). The tool helps in aligning local goals and preferences with climate resilience objectives. SYNERGISE+ facilitates qualitative analysis of mitigation and adaptation actions with the information cities already have on all the actions. There is also a guide providing a framework for objective decision-making, involving stakeholders, and understanding various alternatives and benefits. Together, the tool and the guide empower cities to make, and effectively implement, informed decisions.
If you would like to contribute to improving the tool, please fill out this simple survey after using SYNERGISE+.
Note: the tool was tested in the Excel for Microsoft Office 365 and works well in all newer versions. However, some text in graphs might disappear - in that case, simply adjust the zoom.
The REGIO1st Planning Framework provides a comprehensive, structured approach for regional energy planners, regional authorities' technical staff and interested stakeholders in Europe to develop and implement sustainable, cost-effective energy strategies in line with the Energy Efficiency First (EE1st) principle.
The framework is organized into eight stages, each containing specific steps that are key to the process. It also includes a suite of tools, that can assist planners through different stages of the process, while emphasizing the importance of energy efficiency solutions.
Ultimately, this framework aims to support Europe’s transition towards a low-carbon, environmentally sustainable, and economically prosperous energy system, in line with the region’s climate and energy objectives, and the Energy Efficiency First principle.
Many tools provide support to plan good climate adaptation but neglect the risk of maladaptation (see the definitions box). For this reason, the REGILIENCE self-assessment tool explicitly focuses on spotting potential risk factors for maladaptation as early as possible. Its objective is to help users (staff of the competent regional authority/ies for climate adaptation or of other departments and organisations e.g. consultants for the administrations, CSOs dealing with climate adaptation) to avoid or reduce maladaptation risks in the planning phase of adaptation actions.
With this tool, users are guided through a checklist of 17 questions, each one focusing on one risk factor for maladaptation. By simply responding to the question by selecting yes/no/partially for each of the risk factors, the maladaptive potential of the planned adaptation action is checked.
Developed by Fresh Thoughts Consulting GmbH in the framework of the REGILIENCE project.
