10 The Sustainable Energy Action Plan Where are you? Where do you want to go? How do you get there? Baseline Emission Inventory Analyse the current status in terms of energy use and associated CO 2 emissions. Actions Define a set of comprehensive actions with estimated impacts. Vision, Objectives, Target Agree on a vision, objectives and CO 2 emissions reduction target for

11 The Sustainable Energy Action Plan Energy Demand Energy Supply 11

12 What is reported in the template? Overall strategy (target, vision, staff, budget, etc.); Final energy consumption by sector and by energy carrier; CO 2 emissions factors adopted for each energy carrier; Local energy production (if applicable); CO 2 emissions by sector and by energy carrier; Key actions (estimates on cost, energy savings, renewables and CO 2 reduction by 2020). 12
