The island of Krk in Croatia plans on becoming the first carbon-neutral and self-sufficient Mediterranean island by 2040. This is facilitated through a number of means, including changes to public spaces and the establishment of new energy companies. A large and significant aspect of this programme is the founding of the island’s first energy cooperative, which aims to phase out fossil fuels and make renewable energy sources accessible to the entirety of the island. The cooperative offers assistance in choosing vehicles or equipment for energy production, selecting contractors, and inviting citizens to participate in management and investment.
