ALDA becomes a Covenant Supporter to the “world’s biggest urban climate and energy initiative”

ALDA is now officially a Covenant Supporter! Heralded as the “world’s biggest urban climate and energy initiative” by Commissioner Miguel Arias Cañete, the Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy brings together thousands of local and regional authorities voluntarily committed to implementing EU climate and energy objectives on their territory.
***
ALDA and its members see the urge to support the covenant members in fighting climate change and achieving the EU’s 20% CO2 reduction and 40% by 2030. Currently there are around 400 signatories who joined the initiative, working on the basis of the three pillars – mitigation, adaptation, and secure, sustainable and affordable energy and nearly 7000 supporters around the world.
“We commit ourselves to get the Covenant objectives and messages on the ground, among local authorities and civil society” said Oriano Otocan, President of ALDA. “This new role further expands the opportunities enjoyed by our vast network members, providing them with fresh challenges for development and education”.
The Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy is an initiative by the European Commission.

Intercultural Dialogue & refugees’ educational challenges

The role of Local stakeholders and the challenges arising from the refugee flows in terms education and inclusion were at the heart of the 2nd Forum on Intercultural dialogue, organized by the University of Patras on the 7-8 of October in Patra (GR).
***
The Forum was attended by representatives from the educational sector, Academia, Local Authorities and networks. Developed using the Delphi methodology, the following elements were discussed:
- The situation of refugees in Greece & Europe (including refugee flows) & the role and challenges of local stakeholders, dealing with the situation on a daily basis
- The educational challenges (school attendance for refugee children, education of adults, inclusion in society, exchange and mutual understanding with local societies) of the refugee situation & the notion of “other”.
The LADDER project was presented to the participants by Nikos Gamouras (Project manager – ALDA), stressing the challenges as well as the opportunities that Local Authorities and CSOs have in global trends such as the refugee crisis. The importance of the awareness raising dimension was in particular stressed, being crucial to inform citizens and engage them in such contexts. In parallel, the discussions pointed out the need to take the local realities strongly into account, involving citizens and communities while addressing the needs and issues at the local level.
The event was held in the framework of the European Local Democracy Week, an initiative of the Council of Europe that ALDA and its members are promoting.

Public debate on social inequality in Sisak, Croatia

The Local Democracy Agency Sisak – ALDA Operational Partner – as member of the Equality Forum, organised the public debate “Social (in)equality in Croatia: from international comparison to local impact on Sisak-Moslavina region citizens”, held on 29 September 2016 in Sisak at the popular exhibition place “Holland House”.
***
Equality Forum is the open platform of organisations working on equality achievement for all citizens in Croatia. The debate gathered citizens debating on:
- Social inequality representation in Croatia, comparing to other countries;
- The position of Croatia on different social inequality aspects;
- Sisak-Moslavina region citizens’ energy poverty and possible solutions of related problems.
The LDA Sisak President, Mrs Paula Raužan, delivered the introduction speech, followed by the dr.sc. Goranka Lalić Novak, Vice-president of the Croatian Legal Centre, who opened the debate and moderated it on behalf of the Equality Forum. Citizens had opportunity to discuss about the results of an on-going survey, conducted by the Equality Forum in the area of whole Croatia, gathering citizens’ opinions on their perspective of social inequality.
Two key speakers gave an introduction on the topic: dr.sc. Branko Ančić from the Institute for Social Research in Zagreb with his lecture “Comparative social inequality in Croatia and selected countries” and dr.sc. Maja Božičević Vrhovčak, Executive director of the DOOR- Society for Sustainable Development Design, with her lecture “Energy poverty – research of energy characteristics and energy costs of the Sisak-Moslavina region the poorest households”.
The results of the first empiric research on energy poverty conducted among the poorest households of the Sisak-Moslavina region has been presented, and citizens get to know about energy poverty itself and how energy efficiency measures can support and help the poorest citizens in lowering their living costs.
The conclusions of the debate were focused on the fact that, despite the existing resources and material wealth classifying Croatia as the third of the World’s richest countries, citizens of Croatia are facing daily different forms of inequalities in all aspects of their life, such as economy, politics, health, basic human existence and social life in general. It is necessary to take new measures in order to improve the situation in Croatian society, which is constantly worsening because of poor resource redistribution. Highlight is on quality educational system that should motivate young people to take an active role in community life, as well as contributing in developing decisions that might lower existing social inequalities as much as possible.

The location of October’s meeting is not a coincidence – Francesca Campana, newly elected Board member, represents the Fons Mallorquí de solidaritat i cooperació, whose members are local authorities from the Balearic Islands.
During this meeting in Palma on the invitation of the Consell de Mallorca, the Governing Board of ALDA elected the members of the Advisory Board of the association, discussed several strategic actions, and discussed future activities and events.
“Finding innovative ways to continue promoting good local governance is a stimulating challenge” said ALDA President Oriano Otočan. “I am extremely glad of the work carried out by the current Governing Board, and confident that it will strengthen our Association”.

Active citizenship in the Eastern Partnership: the second issue of the Local Democracy Library

The second issue of the Local Democracy Library on development of active citizenship has been released. The survey shows ways to strengthen local democracy in Eastern partnership countries.
***
On the initiative of the Mayor of the City of Gdańsk and with the help of the Local Democracy Agencies (LDAs) in Georgia (Kutaisi), Armenia (Gyumri), and Ukraine (Dnipro), ALDA publishes a comprehensive survey that focuses on active citizenship in the countries of EaP: Georgia, Ukraine, Moldova, Armenia, Belarus. The paper analyses:
- Threats to development of a civil society resulting from geopolitical situation in the region
- Role of the modern IT in the organising and strengthening civil society (e.g. through social media)
- Possible support and aid provided by local governments of the EU
- Instruments to stimulate the development of civil society.
All five states’ representatives emphasise their nonstable or fragile geopolitical situation influencing civil society development in their countries. The survey shows how factors, such as lack of educational courses on NGO management, lack of funding, lack of civic activism, corruption and legislation are perceived as threats to the civil society development.
The survey discusses an improvement of communication from local/central governments as a mean to gain the trust of citizens.
Furthermore, in the context of developing Eastern partnerships, our EAP coordinator Nino Tvaltvadze also represented ALDA at the 6th Annual Conference of the Regional and Local Authorities for the Eastern Partnership (CORELAP) Committee of the Regions. The EaP policy brings partner countries closer to the EU improving trade economic ties, travel agreements and other relevant policies between the EU and its neighbours to the East.
