Conference materials

Hub “Green foundations”, Green Forum, Ecohome, Green Party of Belarus are announcing a call for participants for the Energy Conference: Energy for the local communities: energy cooperatives as a part of just transition for Belarus and Eastern Europe

With this activity, we aim to empower local communities by bringing shared understanding and knowledge of existing forms of economic relations based on green values, and start discussion on ways of long term solutions. Our main focus is on finding sustainable solutions for New Belarus; however, the discussed approaches can be equally interesting and useful in all countries of Eastern Europe, aiming at transition to Green energy.

Together with different actors we will:

Explore European green deal and its meaning to Eastern Europe

Bring forward the debate on transition towards just and decarbonised design of the economy.

Identify community-led energy examples from different countries of Eastern Europe

Explore Gender dimension in the energy-related local projects

Start developing the infrastructure for the roadmap for the energy revolution

Who should apply?

If you come from the countries of Eastern Partnership and Belarus, are interested in the abovementioned topics, green and social transition in general, and would like to attend the event, you are welcome to apply!

We encourage applications reflecting diversity in all forms!
