Together we switch to clean energy

The Mitigation Enabling Energy Transition in the Mediterranean region (meetMED) project is developed by the Mediterranean Association of the National Agencies for Energy Management (MEDENER) and the Regional Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (RCREEE) to support regional cooperation and build technical capacity for the energy transition in Southern and Eastern Mediterranean (SEM) countries. meetMED was launched in May 2018 at the headquarters of the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) in Barcelona, Spain, for an initial period of two years. The meetMED project aims to accelerate the energy transition in southern and eastern Mediterranean countries and to enhance regional cooperation on energy matters around four workstreams: 1) assessing EE and RES strategies and policies; 2) advancing vocational training and public awareness; 3) attracting sustainable investments in RES and EE; and 4) supporting the UfM Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Platform.

About meetMED

MeetMED II activities aim at strengthening the implementation of EE measures and improving countries’ energy mix focusing on building and appliances’ sectors through a multiscale, multi-partner and inclusive approach at local and regional levels, thereby fostering regional cooperation.

Through harmonizing regional efforts and cooperation, the project will be emphasizing upon:

• Massive deployment of renewable energy and energy efficiency measures on building and appliances sectors in the Southern Neighborhood region to accelerate clean energy transition
• Public awareness on energy’s major stakes and challenges increases, thereby accelerating public and private sectors’ involvement towards more energy-efficient buildings and appliances sectors
