GCEF Recognises Barcelona's Commitment to Energy

Leading figures in the green sector have urged international cities to use Barcelona as their inspiration, after naming the city as the permanent home of the Global Clean Energy Forum.

The decision, made to throw the spotlight on Barcelona and Catalonia’s green energy plans, was announced at this year’s forum, which was held in the city in October.

The event was attended by more than 250 industry experts, and climaxed with the Barcelona Clean Energy Tour, featuring visits to the environmentally friendly constructions like the Agbar Tower, and the Energy Institute of Catalonia (ICAEN).

The tour was conducted in a hybrid bus.

The Global Clean Energy Forum meets once a year to discuss solutions to the challenges of climate change, renewable energy financing and the new energy mix. This year’s event was held at Hotel Arts in Barcelona.
