the organisation that piloted it originally. Thus, an important lesson
learnt is that well-planned projects with impact can continue successfully
beyond the pilot and fully funded stage even though this continuation
was entirely dependent on the organisation managing it and the local
community, as there was no support provided at either the national or
European level.
Finally, although the Gödöllő Climate Club is an example of how a
SECI can be designed to create change in complex relations, the majority (more than 75%) of the SECIs reviewed for Hungary focus on individual behavioural change and technological aspects of sustainable energy
consumption (see Table 8.1). These are important factors, and need to
be tackled in initiatives, but there is need to integrate them with social
considerations, such as how energy is used, what it is used for, and the
communities within which it is used. Since policies have a great influence
on what kind of SECIs are implemented and how change is understood
to happen, there is also need at that level to take the social aspects of
energy consumption into consideration.
Acknowledgements I would like to express my gratitude to colleagues who
have contributed in various ways to previous versions of this paper. To József
Slezák, who has provided input that greatly assisted me in drafting the sections
related to energy policy in this paper, and to Gergő Horváth, Andrea Király,
Szandra Szomor and Kristóf Vadovics who provided additional support with
background research and data collection.
