A strong communication strategy targeting citizens, professionals, academia and businesses was at the centre of the Latvian NECP drafting process. The national government gave diverse opportunities to discuss energy and climate goals by organising multiple campaigns: via information sessions on national TV, hosting public conferences/hearings and a series of virtual meetings (also uploaded online for later reference). Such open processes were reflected also in the development of the document in itself, where national government representatives were joined in dedicated working groups by key municipalities and planning regions, as well as experts from academia and others sectors, to discuss the NECP, action by action.
