Brief description:
The aim of the project is to increase the capacity of 4 municipalities from Bulgaria, by developing the knowledge, skills, experience and qualifications necessary to support the planning and design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of their strategic plans and programs in terms of actions leading as a result to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to the expected adverse effects of climate change. The project is in line with the EU's 2020 and 2030 targets for greenhouse gas reduction, renewable energy production and energy efficiency, paving the way for the long-term goal of a climate-neutral economy by 2050. The targets are achieved through integrated activities, including the development of a specialized training program and training of municipal teams, exchange of experience with a partner from the donor side and implementation of measures laid down in the plans for sustainable energy development and climate, for energy production from renewable sources, introduction of an intelligent system for energy monitoring. It will also create lasting contacts and partnerships between the applicant, the partner municipalities and a partner from the donor countries and will increase the awareness of the population and target groups about the financial support and contribution of the FM of the EEA and the NFM to the reduction of economic and social inequalities.
