1. SEAPs and/or SUMPs

2. Different goals SEAP: Quantative measure (EU 2020 goals)
SUMP: Qualitative measures
(Quality of life)
In March 2007 the EU’s leaders endorsed an integrated approach to climate and energy policy that aims to combat climate change and increase the EU’s energy security while strengthening its competitiveness. They committed Europe to transforming itself into a highly energy-efficient, low carbon economy.
To kick-start this process, the EU Heads of State and Government set a series of demanding climate and energy targets to be met by 2020, known as the " " targets. These are:
- A reduction in EU greenhouse gas emissions of at least 20% below 1990 levels
- 20% of EU energy consumption to come from renewable resources
- A 20% reduction in primary energy use compared with projected levels, to be achieved by improving energy efficiency.
The EU leaders also offered to increase the EU’s emissions reduction to 30%, on condition that other major emitting countries in the developed and developing worlds commit to do their fair share under a global climate agreement. United Nations negotiations on such an agreement are ongoing.
In January 2008 the European Commission proposed binding legislation to implement the targets. This ‘climate and energy package’ was agreed by the European Parliament and Council in December 2008 and became law in June 2009.
The 5 targets for the EU in 2020
1. Employment :75% of the year-olds to be employed
2. R&D  : 3% of the EU's GDP to be invested in R&D
3. Climate change / energy
greenhouse gas emissions 20% (or even 30%, if the conditions are right) lower than 1990
20% of energy from renewables
20% increase in energy efficiency
4. Education :
Reducing school drop-out rates below 10%
at least 40% of 30-34–year-olds completing third level education
5. Poverty / social exclusion :at least 20 million fewer people in or at risk of poverty and social exclusion

3. Several overlaps
SEAP: The main target sectors to go beyond the 2020 targets include:
Buildings,
Equipment/facilities
Urban transport

4. Covenant of Mayors? In theory there are similarities
Can we crack the code in practice?

5. Some ideas
Defining the potential relation between SUMP and SEAP in your city
Define the relationship between planning and implementing authorities
Get to know your transport/COM counterpart and their plans
Align timeframes/actions
Common vision and objectives where possible
Establish mutual understand of the aspects of the two processes

6. Covenant of Mayors?
How do we prepare our colleagues in the city departments in order to secure the best collaboration that can succeed in integrating SEAPs and SUMPs?
Feasable?
Good/bad examples?
Wishes?
Needed Support?
