DOOR, Croatia
As part of ESF funded project: “Sustainable business for better climate”, DOOR will set up a pilot centre for addressing energy poverty in Zagreb. The centre will build upon DOOR’s experience on the topic obtained through completed and ongoing projects.
The goal of the centre is to serve as a bridge between multiple stakeholders in addressing the complex issue of energy poverty. If the centre proves to be successful in its activities, our intent is to replicate the operating model to several locations in Croatia.
