The SEACAP 4 SDG, a EU project led by the Nice Côte d’Azur Metropolis, presented its conclusions at the occasion of a closing conference held on 6 September 2023 in Alexandria, Egypt, in the presence of participants representing local and international institutions. The Nice Côte d’Azur Metropolis was represented by Mrs Agnès Rampal, Deputy Mayor of Nice delegate for Euroméditerranean Cooperation and Vice-President of the Nice Côte d’Azur Metropolis, who addressed the topic of capacity building in energy performance.
The project aimed at capitalising on the results of 14 reference projects working for the energy renovation of buildings in the Mediterranean basin.
The SEACAP 4 SDG project, part of the call for capitalisation of the ENI CBC MED programme 2014-2020, gathered 9 partners joining forces to identify innovative solutions and tools to reduce energy consumption in public buildings through cost-effective energy renovation approaches integrating sustainable energy access and climate action plans as well as innovative support mechanisms for cities.
The SEACAP 4 SDG project thus capitalised on 14 reference projects funded under EU initiatives (ENI CBC MED, INTERREG MED, UfM), taking into account their contributions and results, identifying generalised characteristics, and adapting the knowledge acquired to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of energy renovation strategies adapted to local specificities in the Mediterranean, in particular energy poverty.
These contributions and results will be implemented in 9 cities around the Mediterranean basin with capacity building mechanism and training activities to help these cities to replicate these achievements and capitalise on them thereafter.
The coordination of SEACAP 4 SDG was conducted by the Nice Côte d’Azur Metropolis, representing the Euromed Cities Network – Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur (France), with public and private partners in seven Mediterranean countries:
• Mediterranean Center for Renewable Energies – Tunisia (Tunis);
• Neapolitan Energy and Environment Agency – Italy (Naples);
• Energy Research Institute of Catalonia – Spain (Barcelona);
• Polytechnic University of Valencia – Spain (Valencia);
• Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport – Egypt (Alexandria)
• University of Patras – Greece (Peloponnisos);
• National Energy Research Center – Jordan (Al-Aqaba);
• Lebanese Center for Energy Conservation – Lebanon.
