The Ecosystemic Transition Unit (ETU) is a multilevel governance model developed by the Interreg MED Renewable Energy community to integrate the energy transition into territorial planning, using a holistic approach. The ETU brings together governance, economic competitiveness and social innovation to revitalise rural areas and increase their resilience to climate change.

The ETU Flagship Cases are nine rural, island and urban municipalities working with experts from the Interreg MED Renewable Energy project to develop policies, campaigns or projects based on the ETU model. Alongside this, the project supports five Assessment Cases, who are applying the ETU’s tools to improve their territorial planning. Together, collaboration with the Flagship and Assessment Cases make up the ETU Initiative’s mainstreaming process.
