Rennes (FR)

In a meeting of the city council at the end of 2004, the elected representatives of the City of Rennes approved the content and implementation of a Local Climate Plan. Some of the thirty projects planned, ranging across the housing, tertiary, transport and renewable energy sectors, require working partnerships with local players in order to be fully successful and relevant.

The Rennes BELIEF Forum is directed towards energy efficiency in the building sector and electrical appliances, with priority being given to the social sector.

Two events were organised prior to starting up both local Forums in order to prepare and raise the awareness of local players of the necessity of investing in projects of this type: general public exhibition on the energy issues and the "Local Climate Plan" (August 2005 to June 2006) then the "Climate at the local level" seminar in June 2006.

  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.

  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.
