Organized by the Primorje Gorski Kotar County in cooperation with the Regional Energy Agency Kvarner, invited members of the PGKC focus group met together on October 6th, 2020 in Šapjane, to discuss the climate mitigation and adaptation measures that are to be included in the Joint Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan of the PKGC target area, namely the municipalities of  Kastav, Opatija, Čavle, Matulji and Viškovo. 
Apart from the municipalities' representatives, the meeting offered an opportunity to gather the opinions of other important stakeholders, such as the local utility companies, tourist offices, regional health centre and firefighters community. This bottom-up approach was complimented as highly efficient, since it enabled the discussion about tangible needs on the field and ideas on how to address them jointly. 
In addition to expert presentations and moderated discussion, part of the meeting was devoted to focused brainstorming in small groups, and individual opinions were collected via on-site survey. This will enable the PGKC team to better understand the target area needs and to define the Joint SECAP measures accordingly.
