Dear students and friends of good energy,
RES Foundation invites you to join us at the conference
LOCAL ENERGY IS NOT SOMEONE ELSE’S BUSINESS: AN OPPORTUNITY FOR BETTER DECISIONS
The conference will be held on Friday, November 27, 2026, at the Zira Hotel, Ruzveltova 35, Belgrade, starting at 10:30 a.m.
Local communities in Serbia face important questions: how to ensure safe and affordable energy, reduce harmful emissions and responsibly invest limited public funds? Social and political changes open up opportunities for better decisions, but they require reliable data, clear priorities and an understanding of the consequences of different choices.
With the support of the Heinrich Böll Foundation, RES Foundation is advancing Atlas of Good Energy — a tool that links data on local energy consumption, public finances, climate risks, institutional capacity and energy vulnerability. We will also present an energy calculator, which helps in considering possible measures and future scenarios. Through concrete examples of international loans, we will discuss how priorities are determined and energy projects are financed locally, what due attention domestic institutions and international development partners pay to the assessment of real needs, risks and public benefits, and what needs to be changed in order for public investments to better serve citizens.
We will also discuss how young people can contribute to better quality decisions. We will present the Agents of Good Energy program, through which students learn to analyze the energy situation of their local communities, and our youth delegates will share their observations from the United Nations climate conference COP31.
We invite students, representatives of local governments, institutions, international organizations and everyone interested to join us, ask questions and share their opinions — during the conference or during the lunch that follows.
Confirmation of attendance is mandatory through registration on the link.
We look forward to seeing you!
