We're thrilled to share the third and final issue of the SEACAP 4 SDG project's newsletter, marking the successful conclusion of our project. In this issue, we highlight our key achievements, showing how our efforts have made a real impact.

Local Support: 17 MoUs Signed
Our project has gained strong local support across multiple countries. We've signed a total of 17 Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs), a testament to the interest our project has generated on the ground. This demonstrates the commitment of local stakeholders to sustainable development.

Saving Energy and Reducing Emissions
Our work in eight municipalities has led to the development of Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plans (SE(A)CAPs), namely: the Municipality of Naples (Italy), the Municipality of Aigialeia (Greece), the Municipality of Lloret de Mar (Catalunya, Spain), the Municipality of Sax (Valencia, Spain), the Municipality of Jdeideh El Chouf (Lebanon), the Municipality of Bizerte (Tunisia), the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority “ASEZA” (Jordan), the Governorate of Alexandria (Egypt). These plans promise significant benefits, such as:

  • Energy Savings: We anticipate saving around 41,193 MWh of energy, contributing to cost savings and efficiency.
  • Less Carbon Emissions: By implementing our plans, we'll reduce carbon emissions by approximately 235,665 tonnes, a significant step toward fighting climate change.

Building Sustainability
In addition to municipal plans, we've also focused on enhancing energy efficiency and renewable energy use in seven specific buildings, based on the energy audit performed for: the Technical School of the Alexandria Water Company, the Jordan Boys' High School, Jordan Girls' High School and Jordan Mixed Elementary School, in Lebanon for the Mokhtara High School and the Moukhtara Development Service Center, and the City Hall of Bizerte in Tunisia.

Here's what we've achieved:

  • Energy Efficiency: Our action plans will save an estimated 161,940 kWh of energy, promoting cost savings and environmentally responsible energy use.
  • Reduced Emissions: These plans will lead to a reduction of 57,735 kg of CO2 emissions, contributing to a more eco-friendly future.

The release of this final newsletter is a celebration of our collective success. We're proud of our achievements and excited about the lasting impact they'll have on communities and the environment.
