Promoting Sustainable Energy policies

Current energy policies have shown their limitations throughout Europe and the increases in energy consumption, in the levels of backround noise and air pollution in cities, in greenhouse gas emissions and in waste production are evidence of this.Three quarters of our energy consumption occurs in cities and policy choices in the energy field have a direct impact on the quality of life of city dwellers.
Urban local authorities can always adopt a suite of policies for promoting sustainable energy. There are already technical solutions in existence that are economically viable. More than ever, municipalities have a crucial role to play in a situation where the world of energy is undergoing profound changes due to the effect of the liberalisation process.

Energié-Cités is an Association of European Municipalities which promotes sustainable local
energy policies: energy efficiency, renewable energy, and protection of the urban environment. It works in co-operation with more than 150 municipalities and with the European
Commission.
