METHODS

Why peer-to-peer learning?

• The ‘ peers’ combine technical expertise, with the experience to address the

challenges and deliver solutions.

• They are aware of the difficulties to deliver climate change and sustainable

energy policies: – organisational barriers – complexity of decision making process – financial restrictions – scepticism of citizens, etc. … but they also know how to overcome these difficulties!
