The energy transition, more precisely the one underway in the fishing community of Culatra, on the barrier island with the same name, will be the central theme of the international workshop “Culatra, a Sustainable Energy Community”, which will take place on the 13th and 14th of February in the auditorium of CCDR Algarve and Ilha da Culatra, respectively.
This is an initiative integrated in the project “Culatra2030 – Sustainable Energy Community” which explores, “through a diversified program, the different pillars of a pilot energy transition agenda, centered on the ongoing experience in Ilha da Culatra, which is recognized by the European Secretariat for Clean Energy in the EU Islands as an example for more than two thousand European islands», according to the Algarve's Regional Coordination and Development Commission (CCDR).
The same entity stresses that this will be "a major event for sharing knowledge, meeting and debating ideas, around the pillars on which a more sustainable, empowered and economically viable community is built".
«The event is also intended to recreate a privileged space for the involvement of public and private agents in the creation of a platform of understanding that favors and promotes the operationalization of the energy transition agenda, and the identification of viable solutions to guarantee the future of communities on Culatra Island,” added the Algarve CCDR.
«As a result of its recognition and affirmation in the regional, national and European context, the Culatra2030 initiative, coordinated by the University of the Algarve, is thus one of the most relevant projects of sustainability and energy transition, fully supported by a broad process of Community participation”, he concludes.
Next week's workshop will be jointly organized by CCDR, UAlg, Ilha da Culatra Residents Association and Make it Better – miB.
