From model to mainstream

The Local Renewables Conferences in Freiburg are the platform for both advanced actors and those starting their local energy transformation. The conferences profile:

• The advanced meeting their peers: A meeting place for the 100% RE communities, flagships of their regions, award winners and model communities.
• Practical tools for practitioners: A learning place for shaping and implementing policies to benefit from RE and EE, as well as energy savings. Addressing: How to get started? Which tools are useful? How has it been done?
• Preparing political ground: A discussion place on indispensable national and international framework conditions for local implementation of global energy and climate targets, with clear signals to the current climate negotiations for a post-2012 climate agreement.
• Mobilising and capacity for action: From kindergarten to university - how to prepare the new generation for the post-carbon age? Practical examples, exhibition, workshops and more.
• Sustainable energy in reality: Demonstration place for Green Cities, municipal models and tools, practices and technical solutions, Freiburg Green City as a space for study tours.
