The aim of the project is the development of a smart, local energy system (SLES) model, which is currently being validated in Southend-on-Sea, Essex. The concept of REMeDY is to design a private energy network (generation and supply) that integrates power, heating and vehicle charging. This will benefit Southend by providing cheaper and low carbon energy as well as reduce the pressure on an already constrained grid. The REMeDY concept will be tested on various sites including residential and commercial properties such as Fossett's Farm development and Victoria Shopping Centre. The assessments undertaken will identify a sustainable low carbon solution that drives performance and cost improvements.The findings of REMeDY will uncover the value that can be achieved for both residents and businesses. REMeDY anticipates a cost saving of 10% to the end user and the low carbon technology proposed will contribute to Southend-on-Sea Borough Council’s goal of Net Zero. More importantly, REMeDY will investigate how this solution can be replicated in other areas of the UK and scaled up to offer maximum benefit nationwide. The technical feasibility is progressing together with the regulatory compliance on the proposed solution. Different scenarios are being modelled to identify the solution offering maximum benefit. A case study will encompass the learning from this process including the challenges that need to be overcome to unlock the full value of the solution. Local community engagement is in planning stage and will include promoting awareness of Net Zero and encourage conversations about SLES.Finance secured638174127638.84(Sub)national510535.16https://www.ukri.org/news/powering-towards-net-zero-pioneering-energy-projects-get-the-green-light/Question not applicableQuestion not applicableQuestion not applicableQuestion not applicableQuestion not applicable

This will be done by unlocking the use of ‘lost plastics’ as secondary resources from the urban environment, and thereby creating business activity and employment in the circular economy.PlastiCity wants to find solutions to reuse and recycle plastic with C&I (Commercial and Industrial) origin in urban environments by:•developing technical strategies for (reverse) logistics and reprocessing•inducing behavioural change and increasing the capacity, e.g. increasing knowledge, raising awareness, and encouraging collaboration and the long-term commitment of stakeholders, through urban platforms (UPs; an interactive digital environment, which can be linked to a physical recycling hub) •creating new value chains and designing new products by unlocking the full potential of medium-sized actors (SME’s, offices, retail, schools, etc.)•developing a mobile recycling lab, which will be used to test the composition of post-use plastics and demonstrate the pre-treatment process to stakeholders.PlastiCity focuses on finding new combinations of technical options and urban collaboration models. The project includes the development and demonstration of innovative sustainable logistics, linked to local ‘lumping’ strategies at plastic reuse and refinery hubs. We bring data and stakeholders together on UPs in a systematic way. PlastiCity is the first project in the 2 Seas area that is designed specifically to support the implementation of the European Strategy for Plastics in a Circular Economy (European Commission, 2018).The project runs from 2019 until 2022 and is stimulated by a diverse consortium, with expertise on all parts of the plastic waste value chain in four European regions (Ghent in Belgium, The Hague in the Netherlands, Southend-on-Sea in the United Kingdom and Douai in France).PlastiCity is working to complete several objectives currently, including:- Creating 4 business cases across businesses and schools in the Borough. Their waste will be audited to see what types of plastics are being discarded and how it is possible to repurpose their waste into something useful. Interviews will be completed to gauge their individual attitudes and behaviours. - A working group is being set up to discuss a 'Green Accreditation Scheme' for Southend's businesses and schools. This will allow a rating system for their plastic use and recycling, with the potential to add in additional environmental factors.Finance secured1239544.5495817.8International (ODA)743726.7http://www.PlastiCityProject.eu.Question not applicableQuestion not applicableQuestion not applicableQuestion not applicableQuestion not applicable

Kent County Council is funding the map with money they were awarded from the government’s Access Fund. The aim of the map is to encourage active travel in the towns, in a similar way to the map produced for the Isle of Sheppey in 2019. Comments were gathered from across different departments in the Council, members and from Faversham Town Council.The Kent Downs AONB and the Medway Swale Estuary Partnership have continued to work on the Linking Coast to Downs project and are currently confirming the new walking and cycle routes. The routes will take in rural experiences and help to interpret the landscape for visitors. The routes currently include Conyer to Doddington, Sittingbourne to Hucking (including a new circular walking route near to Sittingbourne) and Faversham to Perry Wood (cycling).The project team is now at the stage of talking with landowners, community groups and businesses to add value to the work and meet local need such as new interpretation at Lynsted Community Orchard and ‘Nature Adventures’ with a local landowner. The project is also working with Faversham Town Council to rebrand the Faversham Food Trails as Countryside Trails, using additional funding from the Experience project, to encourage access outdoors and a greater understanding of the natural landscape.Question not applicableQuestion not applicableQuestion not applicableQuestion not applicableQuestion not applicable

As ações de arborização consistem na plantação de espécies originárias da flora nativa da região (autóctones) quer em propriedades municipais ou de juntas de freguesia, quer em propriedades privadas.Este programa pretende também premiar os participantes que mantenham as suas plantações em bom estado, visando incentivar e assegurar a manutenção dos povoamentos florestais em áreas privadas.No caso de novos povoamentos florestais pode ser atribuído apoio ao longo dos primeiros 5 anos de plantação:• Nos primeiros três anos: 100 €/ha;• Nos dois anos que se seguem: 75 €/ha.Para povoamentos de espécies autóctones já existentes o apoio ao longo dos primeiros 5 anos de plantação pode ascender a:• Nos primeiros três anos: 200 €/ha;• Nos dois anos que se seguem: 150 €/ha.O projeto Floresta nas Linhas 20.30 pretende também criar uma área de demonstração, abrangendo 11 hectares distribuídos por cinco zonas distintas, localizadas nas freguesias de Ponte de Rol e Santa Maria, São Pedro e Matacães. À data de início do projeto, predominavam nestes terrenos públicos, sob gestão da Câmara Municipal, povoamentos de eucalipto. Em janeiro de 2021 o município de Torres Vedras concluiu a reconversão das áreas de eucalipto em áreas de floresta autóctone, incentivando não só a arborização de terrenos incultos com espécies autóctones, mas também a reconversão de outros povoamentos florestais mal adaptados.As ações de plantação realizadas pelo município, que decorreram no período de novembro 2020 a janeiro de 2021, num total de 18 dias de trabalho, contaram com o apoio de voluntários do projeto “LIFE Volunteer Escapes”, um grupo de Escuteiros do Agrupamento de São Mamede da Ventosa, alunos do Externato de Penafirme e outros voluntários, as equipas de sapadores florestais do Município de Torres Vedras e elementos do Gabinete Técnico Florestal da Câmara Municipal de Torres Vedras.Foram também cedidas ao Município de Torres Vedras 18.460 árvores, por entidades públicas, privadas e associações ambientalistas, para a concretização deste projeto, assim como para a realização de plantações e retanchas.Finance secured100Other, please specify: Este projeto recorre a financiamento municipal e fundos comunitários provenientes da participação do Município nos seguintes projetos: LIFE Volunteer Escapes, PRONATURA, Terra de Esperança e Floresta Comum.http://www.cm-tvedras.pt/artigos/detalhes/floresta-nas-linhas-2030-apoia-arborizacao-e-rearborizacao-do-concelho/----BoPs Torres Vedras

Energy leap is a growing partnership working to improve the energy efficiency in buildings. The idea is to gather the property owners, representing the largest number of square meters and make them start a process, that will engage more property owners and businesses in energy savings.Energy Leap has a common three step approach to energy efficient buildings. Firstly, focus on data and screening the energy consumption in the partners´ property portfolio, secondly focus on optimizing the operations of energy-consuming systems in buildings and thirdly energy retrofitting based on insights from the data. The partners share data on their energy consumption in a benchmark. In the first year the partners saved 2,6% of the total energy consumption in the shared building portfolio.Project website: https://energispring.kk.dk/artikel/energy-leapFeasibility finalized, and finance partially securedPublic-private partnership
