Section III: <strong>SECAP</strong> - Actions Planned<br />

1. Executive Summary<br />

This section presents the Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan that has been developed by the<br />

Governorate of <strong>Luxor</strong> in coordination with Transitions Team – CES-MED. The proposed actions have been<br />

designed on the basis of the baseline emission and energy consumption inventory.<br />

The section is structured in three parts:<br />

• Background information – Very brief overview of basic information on city of <strong>Luxor</strong>,<br />

• Governorate buildings and services – Presentation of activities that fall under the direct responsibility<br />

of the Governorate of <strong>Luxor</strong> (the buildings it manages and the services it implements as part of its<br />

core competencies), and<br />

• Action plan on the City of <strong>Luxor</strong> – Presentation of activities that can be run by stakeholders<br />

independently from the Governorate, but need to be stimulated and steered by the Governorate<br />

services in order to ensure everyone is acting within a consistent plan.<br />
