In 2022, the EIC, together with the Tallinn University of Technology and the Tartu Regional Energy Agency, will conduct a programme of workshops for local governments called ‘Climate change and energy management in local government’, which will shape a common vision for the state and local governments on climate change and energy management.

The aim of the workshop programme is to raise awareness and build the capability of public officials to prevent issues accompanying climate change, to harness the positive impacts and opportunities, and to implement energy management, through sharing experiences, improving analytical capacity, stimulating community engagement and developing a shared vision for the future.

The programme will be summarised with a practical digital folder containing an overview of the workshop activities, the materials used, recordings of presentations, the results and the conclusions, which will be made available online at www.energiatalgud.ee.

As a result of a procurement organised by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications, the Ministry of the Environment, and the Association of Estonian Cities and Municipalities, the workshops will be conducted by the Environmental Investment Centre, the Tartu Regional Energy Agency, and the Tallinn University of Technology.
