Overview
What are CAIs?
• Our starting point definition : initiatives that engage citizens in the energy
transition by sharing resources and benefits, and involving them in decision making
• Examples identified: energy communities, purchasing groups, ecovillages …

processes. On the other hand, the Energy Transition necessary to reach Paris
Agreement objectives requires deep social changes that can be brought by CAIs
