Remida fedarene - gorizia 13.5.2015
This document discusses energy efficiency and smart communities from a European Union perspective. It provides background on climate and energy targets in the EU, the development of the Energy Union initiative, and key policy areas like secure energy supplies, completing the internal energy market, promoting energy efficiency, reducing emissions, and boosting research and innovation. It also examines the role of smart cities, sustainable buildings, and EU funding mechanisms like the Covenant of Mayors in supporting energy and climate goals at the local level.
