UBC Action Plan
The UBC Energy Commission Action Plan is based on the Action Plan for the UBC organisation as a whole.
The overall Aims and Goals of the Energy Commission;
From a broad perspective break down the energy issues to a local level and point out a few focus areas where the energy commission can have great impact! We will look at the energy system issue rather than individual sources, and introduce this to the municipalities.
§ To boil down the EU-level and national level energy issues to a local level
§ To raise awareness about projects and to take practical use from experience exchanges in projects within the UBC network.
§ Promote municipalities to use great examples to get more energy efficient!
§ To bring science and university knowledge closer to the municipal/local level.
Focus Areas
§ Reduction of greenhouse gases
§ Energy efficiency programs
§ Higher self sufficiency and local energy production
§ (Dematerialisation of public sector)
Concrete goals for the year of 2007
§ To form a communication plan for the commission
§ Organize two board meetings
§ To organize meetings and workshops together with the competence board
§ To develop the project ideas brought up by the member cities during the first Energy Forum/UBC Energy Commission Meeting in Oskarshamn
Action Plan – an implementation
The first challenge for us, as we just started the commission, is to find contact information for the people working with energy related issues in the municipalities. More details for the implementation and a communication plan will be presented spring 2007.
§ Organize meetings and workshops two times per year. This is a central arena where all cities are invited to give their input to the work of the commission.
§ Initiate and promote good project ideas
§ Organize meetings with the competence board to narrow the gap between the university knowledge and the work in the municipalities.
