EnerCmed Training - Designing and Implementing NBS in REC

This video is part of the EnerCmed training program, co-funded by the Interreg Euro-MED Programme and developed under the Knowledge Facility Instrument by Sinloc spa.

🎯 Objective
This training module provides a practical, step-by-step guide for integrating Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) into Renewable Energy Communities (RECs). It focuses on translating strategic concepts into concrete actions that improve climate resilience, energy efficiency, and social inclusion in Mediterranean port hinterlands.

🧠 What You Will Learn
How to move from NBS concepts to real-world implementation
How to integrate NBS into RECs through spatial, technical, and social dimensions
How municipalities and communities can co-design effective NBS interventions
How to assess impacts on urban heat, cooling demand, and energy efficiency
How monitoring and evaluation support adaptive and scalable solutions
