Nordic Edge Expo - Positive Energy Districts that are inclusive, beautiful, resilient and sustainable: towards a European framework

On the European journey towards climate-neutrality, several initiatives are cooperating to develop an integrated definition and framework for Positive Energy Districts. Neighbourhoods that generate more energy than they consume, and that are inclusive, resilient, sustainable and beautiful, will be important stepping stones towards achieving the Horizon Europe Mission on Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities.

During this session, we present the draft expert report compiled by the initiatives and discuss it with the audience. The results of the session will be integrated in the draft report to inform national consultations in the coming months.

  • Why we work with Positive Energy Districts, how they fit into the bigger scope of climate-neutral and socially innovative cities, and the cooperation between European/international initiatives on PEDs to develop an integrated framework and definition

    Presented by Annemie Wyckmanns
