National Energy Transition Pact

In the process of producing the Energy Transition White Paper, the Mission for Energy Transition noted huge motivation among Monegasque stakeholders to take action to reduce the Principality’s greenhouse gas emissions. So, in line with the wishes of H.S.H. the Sovereign Prince, in January 2018 the Mission for Energy Transition created the National Energy Transition Pact to mobilise residents, workers, students, businesses, institutions and Monaco’s associations.

What is the National Pact?

The National Pact is designed to be a tool for progress, allowing everyone (residents, workers, businesses, institutions, associations..) to contribute, through their actions, to the Principality’s energy transition.

It comprises a simple and comprehensible Commitment Charter, which covers all stakeholders and sets out the three key priorities of the energy transition: transport, waste and energy. It is broken down into annual action plans indicating what, specifically, each person or organisation who has signed up will do to contribute to the energy transition, and highlighting the greenhouse gas emissions thus prevented.

By signing up to the Pact, individuals and organisations are committing to making a specific contribution to reducing Monaco’s greenhouse gas emissions alongside the Prince’s Government.

You can sign up to the Pact in three steps on the Carbon Coach platform (pacte-coachcarbone.mc ):

1) Complete a simplified greenhouse gas emissions assessment. Please note: businesses, institutions and associations must complete a greenhouse gas emissions assessment in order to sign up to the Pact

2) Read and electronically sign the Commitment Charter, which is the same for everyone who signs up and lays out the three key priorities of the energy transition: transport, waste and energy

3) Choose from among the MTE’s suggestions the energy transition actions you have already undertaken or that you will implement in the year following your signature of the Pact. Businesses choose these actions from within the most appropriate action plan for their sector

Businesses, institutions and associations must also designate a point of contact who will coordinate their energy transition commitments and be the main link with the Mission for Energy Transition.

What happens after I’ve signed up?

Pact signatories receive the Mission for Energy Transition’s quarterly newsletter and are invited to our themed workshops and annual event. The workshops are designed to offer signatories training in various issues relating to the energy transition and to facilitate the sharing of best practices between individuals or organisations.

An annual review is carried out among signatories to find out how they are getting on and learn about the successes they’ve achieved and the challenges they are facing with their commitments. For businesses, associations and institutions, this will take the form of an interview. For individuals, an electronic survey will be conducted.
