Much of this has to be implemented at the community and the municipal level,” said EU Head of Cooperation Christoph Wagner during the online forum on “Financing Modalities and Tools to Advance Energy Efficiency and Conservation (EE&C) in Local Planning and Development in Visayas & Mindanao.” “We need to rethink our approach: how to reach out and work together, how to jointly define pipelines and priorities and how to determine the right financing mechanisms accordingly. The EU is happy to provide some support for moving in this direction,” Wagner said.
