The role of multilevel PA for energy transition and building stock upgrading

Energy transition and building stock upgrading are crucial challenges to ensure a sustainable future. In this context, the multilevel involvement of territorial authorities proves to be crucial for the success of relevant policies and initiatives. European directives, such as the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) being transposed, highlight the importance of coordinated cooperation between different scales of governance, promoting transparency, clarity and efficiency in the implementation of measures.

Our country's subsidiarity model is already ready to make this approach effective, thanks in part to the expertise developed over the years in energy planning, tool creation and monitoring of policy measures. However, different speeds between territories remain, making it necessary to realign and strengthen them to ensure that national policies can achieve maximum effectiveness.

The meeting aims to delve into these issues and provide a platform to discuss the benefits of a multilevel approach and present tools and best practices available to decision-makers and technicians in public administration, which are essential aspects for meeting the challenges of the energy transition.
