ManagEnergy Sectoral Information Kit 16: Sustainable Energy and Peripheral Regions
Climate change will have a big impact on the peripheral regions of the European Union, such as remote regions or islands. These areas already suffer constraints due to their isolation, and these are likely to increase with climate change. The impacts of climate change will vary according to location – northern areas are expected to have warmer temperatures and higher levels of rainfall, whilst southern regions will be drier and hotter. Many of the most remote regions rely heavily on agriculture and forestry – two sectors particularly vulnerable to changes in temperature and water availability.
In this information kit, you will find the following:
- What is the EU doing (Policy, funding, etc;)?
- Climate change and energy supply: a crucial issue for peripheral regions
- The role of energy agencies towards more sustainable peripheral regions
- Towards sustainable islands: islands to work together towards sustainable energy goals
- Good practice: implementation plan for renewable energy sources in Crete (Greece)
- ManagEnergy; a capacity building instrument: strengthening the capacities of local and regional energy agencies to offer better services to islands authorities
