The EU-funded “Cleaner Energy Saving Mediterranean Cities” (CES-MED) project has co-organised with the Israeli government a national conference on the elaboration of Sustainable Energy Action Plans in Tel Aviv, Israel.

EU and Israeli officials as well as experts took part in a special round table session, during which a new mechanism for the financing of energy efficiency planning and concrete activities for local authorities was announced.
 
Participants included CES-MED team members, representatives of the EU-funded Tag Hasviva Programme and sustainable energy practitioners from Israeli municipalities and those affiliated with another EU-funded project in the Med Region – SUDEP (Sustainable Urban Demonstration Projects).
 
The “Cleaner Energy Saving Mediterranean Cities” (CES-MED) project is an EU-funded regional initiative set up to provide training and technical assistance support to Local and National Authorities in the southern Mediterranean region; with a view to help them respond more actively to sustainable policy challenges. 
 
CES-MED ensures that the actions proposed match with the objectives of the Covenant of Mayors: to reach and even go beyond the European objective to reduce CO2 emissions by 20% thanks to the improvement of energy efficiency and the increase of the use of sustainable energy.
