Carbon Forum joins Sustainable Energy Europe Partnership

The Carbon Forum team is the second from MEA to be rewarded for its commitment to climate change mitigation by being accepted into the European Commission's Sustainable Energy Europe Partnership as an official partner, joining Project Carbon. This Partnership is one of the main instruments within the Sustainable Energy Europe Campaign - "A European campaign to raise awareness and change the landscape of energy". It is designed to involve and support institutions and organisations, decision-makers and sustainable energy stakeholders across the European Union. The Campaign supports and promotes actions in the following five main campaigning areas: sustainable energy communities; market transformation; promotional, communication and educational actions; demonstration and dissemination projects; and cooperation programmes.

This success was announced on 19th November 2008. As a partner, Carbon Forum will continue to raise awareness of key issues and demonstrating to others, throughout the EU Member States, how barriers have been overcome and problems solved. This transfer of know-how can convince and assist local populations and organisations when taking the first steps towards sustainable energy use.

Carbon Forum follows Project Carbon to become the second project in Shropshire and third in the West Midlands to join the Partnership.
