Virtual Peer Learning on Sustainable Financing


Financing local authorities’ sustainable energy and climate projects is hindered primarily by the lack of internal capacity to identify and implement innovative financing schemes and investment programmes. In PROSPECT, we bring together regions and cities from across Europe to exchange and learn about innovative mechanisms for sustainable energy and climate projects.

Over the past 3 years, almost 200 local/regional authorities and agencies joined the PROSPECT peer-to-peer learning programme, and they are now eager to share their experience with you.

During this half-day virtual event, we will share with you the tips and tricks of PROSPECT’s highly experienced mentors and the insights of the programme to enhance your ability to attract green investments. EPC, Third Party Financing, etc. will have no secrets for you after attending this workshop. So come and learn how to finance the energy transition from the ones who understand it the most: your peers!
