The Governance in the energy transition towards a low carbon society in metropolitan areas (Metropolis Energy GovernAnce or MEGA) exchanged knowledge on how metropolitan areas face governance in the energy transition process towards a low-carbon society. The project took a look at how the transition is designed and implemented, with whom and which are the results and impacts of the approaches taken. Initiatives such as energy cooperatives, Nearly Zero Energy Buildings, co-creation of master plans, are some of the proposals undertaken in some cities for the energy transition.

Goals
