Spread the word! Energy Saving Tips : webinar on Energy Sufficiency

The Covenant of Mayors – Europe Office, the Energy and Climate Department of the Paris Region Institute and the Beratungs- und Service-Gesellschaft Umwelt mbH (B.&S.U.) joined forced for the delivery of an exclusive webinar on Energy Sufficiency.

The concept of energy sufficiency is spreading all over Europe and it can help local and regional communities reach their climate and energy objectives.

Energy sufficiency is firstly a matter of behaviour and consumption: It's about having enough without using too much. It's about acting differently and leading a good life within the limits (energysufficiency.org). Energy sufficiency relies on prioritising essential needs in both individual and collective energy usage Energy sufficiency therefore goes beyond energy efficiency.

Energy efficiency is no longer enough to counteract the increasing energy demand. We shall drastically reduce our energy use if we want to ensure a fair and equal access to energy to all and meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.

Saving energy has been an integral part of mid-term and long-term local climate and energy planning. The current energy crisis requires that these efforts be reinforced, while calling for emergency energy saving measures.

The webinar is part of the Cities Energy Saving Sprint, a joint initiative of the European Commission, the Covenant of Mayors – Europe and the European Committee of the Regions to support cities in taking measures that will immediately reduce their energy consumption.
