The meetMED Workshop on Monitoring  EE and RE Indicators in the Mediterranean will take place on 20 – 22 March 2019 in Beirut, Lebanon.

Following-up the results of the MED-IEE1 project, which compiled reliable data about EE indicators used in Morocco, Algeria, Lebanon and Tunisia between 1990 and 2010, the Workshop will now update the collected data according to the new specific national needs by looking into the period 2012- 2018.

In the framework of the Paris Agreement, all countries need to implement stricter EE policies and to measure more accurately their impacts on climate. As others, the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean Countries have elaborated National Energy Efficiency Action Plans (NEEAPs) indicating sector-specific measures to be implemented at the national level.

Monitoring the NEEAPs requires the definition of reliable indicators to assess the impact of policies, measure progress and identify possible next steps.

For this reason, this Workshop will aim specifically at:

• Introducing meetMED objectives and expected outputs;
• Creating a task force on EE indicators;
• Creating a task force to using EE indicators databases;
• Identifying specific support needs in each country, if necessary;
• Exchanging best practices on monitoring tools.

The event is by invitation only.

The High Level Policy Dialogue (HLPD) is a platform on sustainable energy that brings together high-level representatives from international financing institutions, banks, private sector, international and regional organizations and governments.

The HLPD sheds the light on the need for regional cooperation among the above-mentioned stakeholders in North African and Middle Eastern countries, in order to further facilitate sustainable investments in the Renewable Energy (RE) and Energy Efficiency (EE) sectors in the region. Furthermore, it discusses the investment and financial tools in the fields of RE & EE that would foster climate change mitigation, while taking into account the countries’ Nationally Determined Contributions, and benefiting from EU’s experience in these policy domains.

The first working session will be held on 30 January 2019 in Barcelona, Spain.

Focus will be given to identifying new operational business models that could stimulate investments in these sectors.The outcomes of the dialogue will be helping in better formulating a mid to long-term cooperation between the EU and the Southern Mediterranean countries.

*The event is by invitation only.

The meetMED workshop on Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Strategies and Policies will take place on 03 October 2018 at the Royal Scientific Society premises in Amman (Jordan), as a parallel event to the 6th MEDENER International Conference on Energy Transition in the Euro – Mediterranean Region.
This workshop will serve as an opportunity for the meetMED Regional Experts Network (REN) to meet for the first time and present Country Policy Papers prepared by experts from Southern and Eastern Mediterranean Countries (SEMC) and best practices and/or case studies prepared by REN experts from non-SEMC.
Participants will debate policy developments, best practices, initiatives and ideas that support the move towards clean, secure and efficient power in the Mediterranean region as well as monitoring tools for EE and RE indicators.
During the workshop, the meetMED REN will also define the content of the meetMED report on EE and RE strategies and policies, which will focus on the Mediterranean countries targeted by the meetMED project: Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestine and Tunisia.

Access to the event is by invitation only.

The Mediterranean Association of the National Agencies for Energy Management (MEDENER) and the Regional Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (RCREEE) are pleased to announce the launch of the meetMED project.

The project, funded by the European Union,aims atfosteringenergy transition in Southern and Eastern Mediterranean countriesand atsupportingthe Union for the Mediterranean (UfM)Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Platform (REEE platform)

The launch event will take placeon Friday 18 May 2018 at the UfMHeadquartes in Barcelona, Spain.
