Preface

With over 70% of the population living in urban areas, cities and towns use huge amounts of energy. In light of the vast energy challenges facing Europe, the European Union (EU) recognised the importance of local and regional initiatives to reduce energy consumption and CO₂ emissions as well as to increase the use of renewable energy.

The flagship initiative Covenant of Mayors was launched by the European Commission to offer public authorities a democratic response to climate change and to provide a platform for exchange and collaboration. The Intelligent Energy Europe (IEE) Programme offers technical support to public authorities through the financing of the recently relaunched ManagEnergy portal, as well as IEE projects; the Sustainable Energy Communities projects featured in this Newsletter were financed under the 2009 call and are specifically aimed at helping communities to be, or become, members of the Covenant of Mayors.

Предговор

С над 70% от населението, живеещо в урбанизирани зони, големите и малките градове потребяват огромно количество енергия. В светлината на значителните енергийни предизвикателства пред Европа, Европейският съюз (ЕС) осъзнава важността на местните и регионалните инициативи за намаляване на консумацията на енергия и емисиите въглероден диоксид (CO₂), както и за увеличаване използването на възобновими енергийни източници.

Водещата инициатива Конвент на кметовете (Covenant of Mayors) беше стартирана от Европейската комисия с цел предлагането на обществените органи на демократичен отговор на проблема с промените на климата и осигуряването на платформа за обмен на опит и сътрудничество. Програмата "Интелигентна енергия – Европа" (Intelligent Energy Europe (IEE)) предлага техническа подкрепа на обществените органи чрез финансиране посредством наскоро стартирания отново портал ManagEnergy, както и проекти по IEE; проектите "Устойчиви енергийни общности" (Sustainable Energy Communities), описани в настоящия бюлетин, бяха финансирани по процедурата от 2009 г. и специфичната им насоченост е към подкрепата за общностите за настоящото или бъдещото им членство в Конвента на кметовете.
