Sustainable Energy

Since 2016, the City of Lille in France and the Municipality of Oujda in Morocco have jointly led the Decentralized Cooperation Project for Sustainable Energy. It aims to promote renewable energy and improve the energy efficiency of buildings in both cities. Involving all local actors (research and high education institutes, companies, civil society, residents, and local authorities), the project is delivered by international volunteers of France Volontaires who have come to offer their expertise.

One of the flagship actions is the establishment of an ‘Energy Information Service’ in Oujda, on the model of the ‘House of Sustainable Housing’ in Lille, which intends to inform, guide, and raise awareness among inhabitants on the reduction of their energy consumption (electricity, water, and fuel) and the challenges of climate change.
