The “SEACAP Preparation Manual” is the result of years of dedicated efforts by experts involved in the Cleaner Energy Saving Mediterranean Cities “CES-Med” project (2013-2018) and the Acting for Climate in South Mediterranean “Clima-Med” project (2018- 2025). It was developed alongside the preparation of “Sustainable Energy Access and Climate Action Plans” (SEACAPs) for more than 100 municipalities and cities, in close collaboration with their presidents and dedicated staff. The successful preparation of these numerous SEACAPs was achieved through practical on-the-job training. The purpose of this Manual is to share our insights and experiences, or our “preparation recipe”, with the many local authorities currently designing their Plans, and certainly, to motivate and encourage others to follow suit. We assure future users of this Manual that a SEACAP is not only a highly effective tool for designing projects but also an essential one for securing their funding and implementation. The authors dedicate this Manual to those leaders, mayors, technicians, and civil society actors who have worked with us, with effort, compassion, and dedication to build a better society for millions of citizens.
