Energy for Mayors Toolbox of Methodologies

This innovative Toolbox is a growing collection of different types of resources and methodologies in many languages, addressing many different topics. It will help to centralise resources and guidance material online for those organizations giving guidance in any facet of SEAP development and implementation – also for the Covenant of Mayors (CoM).

Toolbox of Methodologies on Climate and Energy for the Covenant of Mayors

The Energy for Mayors Toolbox of Methodologies – Climate and Energy was launched during EU Sustainable Energy Week 2011 (EUSEW 2011). It forms part of the project support package developed for organisations that are assisting cities and towns across Europe in developing Sustainable Energy Action Plans (SEAPs).

This innovative Toolbox is a growing collection of different types of resources and methodologies in many languages, addressing many different topics. It will help to centralise resources and guidance material online for those organizations giving guidance in any facet of SEAP development and implementation, including the Covenant of Mayors (CoM). Resources include guide books, films, CO2 calculators, Local Agenda 21 process guidance, and much more. 

As an entry point to the overall topic – relevant to a very broad range of activities and actors addressing the SEAP process - the website shows a cycle with typical steps relevant to SEAP development,  from setting targets to monitoring and from financing actions to engaging citizens. Icons are employed to guide users to relevant elements in the Toolbox.   

To ensure it further develops, users are invited to register, add other useful tools and methodologies, and evaluate resources. Based on this evaluation a ‘recommended reading list’ will be created by the end of 2011. 

Your feedback on the overall concept and usefulness is welcome!
