Introduction

The 5000&1 SEAPs project has planned and implemented a focused capacity building programme for Local Authorities (LAs) thorough the three years of the project.

The project has involved 108 new LAs in 64 meetings in 8 target countries. These meetings involved both municipal staff and decision-makers, and they were organized as workshops, roundtables, or simple bilateral calls, according to the needs and requirements of each municipality engaged.

Thanks to this targeted capacity building for LAs, 50000&1 SEAPs has increased knowledge on the EnMS+SEAP approach,and directly engaged over 824 participants.

Italy

In Italy SOGESCA organized 5 capacity building sessions for Local Authorities, building capacity of 12 participants. These sessions involved 5 new municipalities in 50000&1 SEAPs project, namely: Busto Arsizio, Udine, Caldogno, Marano, Santorso. A total of 5 capacity building meetings for local governments not supported by the project activities took place in the 5 municipalities mentioned above. The capacity building focused on tools and methodologies for effective data collection, and on the 50000&1 SEAPs methodology. The municipalities have been chosen in order to benefit from the closeness to the local partner SOGESCA, and of the opportunity to integrate the EnMS procedures and methodology in their existing SEAP and Environment Management Systems (i.e. in Udine) already developed and currently in the implementation and monitoring phase. The aim is to speed up the institutionalization of the SEAP approach and the “permeation” of the EnMS+SEAP methodology in the technical staff and in the political staff of the LGs involved in the process. SOGESCA organized regular Energy Team meetings every month and half in each of the municipalities supported by the project activities, including the Federation. The aim of this capacity building activities with the 5 new Municipalities is focused on transferring this kind of methodological approach by supporting these Municipalities in structuring a stable internal Energy Team. Politicians and technicians were trained on how to introduce the EnMS+SEAP approach in their “normal” SEAP activities and how to collect and analyze energy data consumption based on appropriated EnPI. Through this approach we are able to provide technical and organizational support to the municipalities in setting up a permanent energy team working on EnMS+SEAP activities. The main focus areas of the sessions held were:  50000&1 SEAPs methodology (EnMS+SEAPs)  Setting up an EnMS: what steps to take and what are the benefits  The Covenant of Mayors: implementing your city´s commitment through EnMS  Why your city needs and energy manager  Data collections – challenges and solutions

In total in these trainings representatives of 36 different municipalities participated. On 12 May 2016 national conference “Energy potential today and tomorrow” was organised where one of the project partners – municipality of Ādaži presented their achievements in 50000&1SEAPs. In the second half of 2016, 2 energy forums in Cēsis and Sigulda were organized (with 51 attendees altogether). National training about EMS implementation in municipalities was organized on February 15 in Riga with 16 municipality representatives and energy managers participating.

Based on initial activities and general approach of 50000&1 project, Ekodoma also attracted additional funding for training on energy and climate in other municipalities. Based on the results from the city of Daugavpils, Ekodoma prepared and submitted a case study and application to Clean Energy Ministerial Award.

The main focus areas of the sessions held were:  50000&1 SEAPs methodology (EnMS+SEAPs)  Setting up an EnMS: what steps to take and what are the benefits  National legislation and obligation for municipalities and cities to implement an EnMS  Why your city needs and energy manager and energy manager’s responsibilities  Data collection and analysis – challenges and solutions with a special focus on municipal buildings The following trainings/forums/peer-to-peer were organized during the project:
