2 Inland Norway Energy Agency INEA contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions through awareness raising and dissemination on energy efficiency and use of renewable energies Create interest and committment on energy and climate issues in Inland region (46 municipalities/ inhab.) Independent and non-commercial Owned by Hedmark og Oppland County Councils and Eidsiva Energy (regional energy company) Source: traineeinnlandet.no

3 Who are we? Ingrid Nytun Christie - Managing director - Experience: Climate advisory and power sector Inger Lise Willerud - Communications adviser - Been at INEA since establishment in 2009 Benoit Dugers - Energy Advisor - Energy Engineer - Specialist on energy efficiency in buildings

4 Prioritised topics & target groups Buildings Municipalities Transport Children/youth Agriculture/forestry Households Communication

5 Why climate? Because the human impact on the global climate is clear (IPCC, 5th assessment report, 2014) Because the effects are here already: The atmosphere and ocean have warmed, the amounts of snow and ice have diminished, and sea level has risen (IPCC, 2014)

6 Why energy? Because the transition from fossil-fuelled energy sources to low-carbon and renewable energy sources is essential to move towards a safer, cleaner, more equitable and climate-friendly future Because promoting energy efficiency is the most rapid and cost-effective way to reduce greenhouse gases (GHG)

7 Why communication? 97,1 % of climatologists: People have an effect on climate, and we notice the changes already now 44 % of Norwegians worry for the consequences of climate change. This percentage is now declining. We are concerned with reducing our impact on climate, but we do not always follow up with concrete actions. We have to spread the word that this challenge is real and urgent, yet solutions already exists!

8 Energy Agencies in Europe

9 Our projects and involvment «From Words to Action!» 3 year project financed by the Ministry of Local Government and Modernisation More effective implementation of measures in local government energy and climate plans Inland as national pilot model, experience for other regions/counties 13 pilot municipalities in Inland 6 guides (passive house, EPC, EMS, CPS,...)
