The City of Naples, the capital of the Campania region, is the third largest Italian city and the largest in Southern Italy. It has a long tradition of industry and commerce and is now a popular tourist destination. However, Naples has a population of about 1 million inhabitants in a relatively small area (117.27 sq. km.) and a high number of vehicles, so the primary cause of air pollution is urban transport. For this reason the Local Authorities have organised a series of on-going initiatives to protect the environment and to promote sustainable mobility.

Our LIEF
In the Forum all local actors work together and develop a Sustainable Energy Action Plan. Its idea is the cooperation of as many partners as possible in order to have various inputs which have an influence on the work of the Forum.

1. Blue Label Campaign for Two-Wheeled Vehicles: A specific Protocol laying out all details of the obligation, modality and costs of the inspection was signed by the Local Authority and Trade Association
2. Awareness/information campaign and training courses set up with other Italian partners involved in the BELIEF project: The instruments used included a website, posters, free-phone service, etc. Particularly successful was the promotion of the project at national level through an information campaign set up with the other Italian partners (Modena, Rimini and Padua)
3. “How’s Naples Going?” - Green tours on Environmental Sundays: ANEA – the Naples Agency for Energy and the Environment – and the Municipality of Naples launched the initiative "How’s Naples Going?" within the BELIEF project. This initiative was set up in collaboration with environmental associations, the association of employers in tourism of the Napoli Province, Bed & Breakfast associations, etc.
Planned
1. Blue Label for Driving Schools: Blue Label for Driving Schools is an initiative promoted by the Municipality of Naples, ANEA and Trade Associations. It integrates the instruction for the attainment of a driving licence with a free teaching/awareness-raising module, taught by appropriately-trained instructors, on air pollution and environmentally-friendly driving
2. Centre for Information on Energy: The Municipality and ANEA, together with the main environmental associations, are setting up the Centre for Energy in Naples. The Centre’s objectives are to promote the use and production of sustainable energy, to make people aware of the problem of energy saving and renewable energy sources, to support all those actions which promote energy saving
3. Photovoltaic Plants on Schools and Lessons for Pupils: The Municipality of Naples, ANEA and ARIN (the local water company) have drawn up a Plan for the solarisation (installation of Photovoltaic Plants) on 42 school buildings. Moreover, with the support of the teaching staff, a series of learning activities will be organised

Our Sustainable Energy Action Plan (SEAP)
It marks the main work of the Forum. Its aim is to bring sustainability into the city by formulating an action plan which was developed by all local actors which took part in the Forum.
Communication and dissemination material
This part describes the way how the communities promote the actions concerning BELIEF. It aims at informing a wider public in order to raise awareness on sustainable development among them.
Furthermore it is the most visible part of the project for the citizens and should not be underestimated.
Implementation
Implementation means further results of the BELIEF project, which are fixed by the adoption of local regulations and the signature of local voluntary commitments / agreements.
