WELCOME TO THE EUROPEAN ENERGY AWARD

The European Energy Award supports local authorities in establishing
interdisciplinary planning approaches and implementing effective energy and
climate policy measures through the rational use of energy and increased use of
renewable energies. There are 1,700 local authorities with a population of 71
million participating today.

Dr. Stephan Pernkopf
Vice Governor of Lower Austria

"The municipalities of lower austria are playing a very important role in order
to attain our ambitious energy-goals. The country programme eea (e5) supports
municipalities establishing long term structures to increase energy efficiency
and climate protection while reducing expenditures."

Alain Juppé
Member of the Constitutional Council of France

"The European Energy Award is a methodological support tool designed to enhance
and bring about recognition of the quality of the climate and energy policy that
we are conducting in our territories. Our efforts are real and respond to the
climate challenges of tomorrow. The continuous improvement process inherent to
the European Energy Award has led us to go even further to build with all the
local actors a territory resolutely directed towards the energy transition."

Walter Hartlieb
Former Mayor of Kötschach-Mauthen, Carinthia

"The eea program is an extensive tool which offers municipalities a chance to
achieve a continuous improvement of the energy efficiency, identify potentials
for the use of renewable energies and increase environmental awareness, under
inclusion of the population and the local specific features. At the same time
one can compete in an amicable competition against municipalities from all over
Europe. With the work in the municipalities we pursue a common aim to protect
the preservation of our intact nature for later generations!"

Rémy Pagani
Councillor of the canton of Geneva

"Working together for a city that is 100% renewable in 2050: by adopting this
vision, the City of Geneva has joined the European cities providing the greatest
momentum for the trend towards energy savings and greenhouse gas emission
reductions. The City of Geneva received the European Energy Award Gold in 2010."

Marie-Pierre Gramaglia
Member of the Crown Council of Monaco

"The eea is a tool that incentivizes action. It assisted the government in
giving more prominence to its commitments toward its climate policies."

Franz Untersteller
Baden-Wuerttembergs minister of environment 2011 - 2021

"For the state government of Baden-Württemberg, cities, municipalities and
counties are important partners to build a powerful alliance in order to reach
ambitious energy- and climate protection goals. The European Energy Award has
proven to be a helpful instrument for establishing these alliances."

Miko Runkel
Former Mayor of Chemnitz

"In order to meet the challenges of climate change at municipal level, the eea
has proved to be an effective steering tool, helping to tap existing potential,
bringing together key stakeholders, initiating new activities, implementing
measures and thus providing reasonable weight to climate protection in the city
of Chemnitz."

Doris Leuthard
Federal Councillor, head of the Federal Department of the Environment,
Transport, Energy and Communications (2010 - 2018)

"European Energy Award Municipalities attest to the success of an energy policy
based on renewable energy sources and energy efficiency."

Andres Türler
Former City Councillor, head of the Department of Industrial Activity, Zurich

The number of people coming to the City of Zurich to live and work – or for
pleasure or school – is steadily rising. They are attracted not least by the
high standard of living. We want to maintain that standard, but use less energy.
The European Energy Award Gold encourages us on the long road to the 2000 Watt
Society.

Barbara Schwickert
Former Director, Public Works, Energy and the Environment, Bienne

"The European Energy Award is helping the City of Biel work to realize its
potential for action on energy policy. It spurs us systematically to assess
planning, construction, supply, mobility, communication / cooperation and
organizational considerations and to take appropriate measures."

In February 2022, 4 pilot cities of the IMPLEMENT project were awarded with the
eea. Two of them in Poland: Gdynia (picture) and Lublin and two in Croatia:
Karlovac and Velika Gorica. Congratulations!

2022, page 44, on local climate action, written by the Association Climate

We stand with the people of Ukraine and against aggression and war

The Association European Energy Award AISBL expresses its support for the people
of Ukraine, who are defending their freedom and the integrity of their country.
After decades of peace in Europe, the aggression against Ukraine marks a severe
attack against human rights, European values and the peaceful cooperation
between countries.

But this will not divide us, on the contrary, it will strengthen solidarity.

The Russian war also amplifies the importance of pursuing a more
self-sustaining, renewable energy supply which the eea aims to support.
