    • Collect information on climate risks and vulnerabilities specific to the region.
  2. Conduct BEI

    • Identify key sectors contributing to emissions (e.g., transport, buildings, industry).
  3. Conduct RVA
    • Assess the risks and vulnerabilities posed by climate change to the municipality.
    • Identify critical areas that need adaptation measures.
  4. Set Targets

    • Align targets with the EU’s climate and energy objectives.
  5. Stakeholder Engagement
    • Engage with local stakeholders, including businesses, community groups, and citizens, to gather input and build support for the SECAP.
    • Organize workshops, public consultations, and meetings to discuss priorities and actions.
  6. Identify Actions and Measures
    • Develop a list of actions and measures to achieve the targets. These may include energy efficiency improvements, renewable energy projects, sustainable transport initiatives, and adaptation measures.
    • Prioritize actions based on feasibility, impact, and cost-effectiveness.
  7. Draft the SECAP
    • Compile the Baseline Emission Inventory, Risk and Vulnerability Assessment, and identified actions into a comprehensive SECAP document.
