The means for cities and regions to support the energy transition in the Mediterranean
The Mediterranean region is warming 20% faster than the global average, and population growth, tourism, and industrialisation are increasing pressure on its energy resources, which remain heavily reliant on fossil fuels. Despite vast renewable energy potential, Southern and Eastern Mediterranean countries use only a small share of RES. Decarbonisation is essential to addressing the climate crisis and promoting sustainable growth. Local and regional authorities (LRAs) are key to accelerating an inclusive energy transition. Recommended actions include: - Developing tailored energy transition plans aligned with national and international goals. - Investing in capacity-building and training for local energy management. - Expanding beyond solar energy to include wind, bioenergy, and offshore renewables. - Collaborating across networks to share expertise and promote decentralised solutions. - Engaging communities through awareness campaigns and participatory decision-making. - Offering incentives to attract private investment and streamline processes. - Fostering international cooperation to share resources and innovation. By empowering local actors and promoting collaboration, the Mediterranean can lead a just and sustainable energy transition.
