Based on the NESOI survey conducted last year, the NESOI partners produced a report outlining the critical technologies for energy transition on islands.

On 20-21 May 2021, the first forum of Phase II of the Clean energy for EU islands secretariat presented practical steps towards the decarbonisation of EU islands and showcased ongoing and completed clean energy projects on islands.

 The event was a great success with around 270 participants and more than 50 speakers. Kadri Simson, European Commissioner for Energy, held an intriguing opening speech on the first day.

Alessandra Montanelli from Sinloc presented NESOI at the webinar Climate change adaptation on European islands on the 29th of April.  

This webinar was organized by the Conama Foundation in the framework of the project “Insular Connection to facilitate Climate Change Adaptation” developed with the support of the Ministry for Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge through the Biodiversity Foundation.
