Summary/Abstract: Effective decision support processes depend on robust stakeholder engagement, ensuring informed, equitable outcomes through collaborative dialogue and participatory governance. This paper presents a strategic approach to stakeholder engagement aimed at mobilizing energy efficiency investments, with a focus on Greece. Emphasizing inclusivity, structured dialogue, and tailored collaboration, the methodology identifies and prioritizes stakeholders across sectors such as finance, public authorities, technical services, and civil society. Findings reveal that public authorities (30%), financial institutions (24%), and technical providers (19%) are critical for driving energy efficiency initiatives, with 70% of stakeholders requiring high engagement. The study underscores the importance of aligning stakeholder roles with project goals to foster sustainable investments and meet the European Union’s climate targets. Recommendations include participatory tools like roundtables and cross-country labs to enhance collaboration and disseminate best practices.
