Project objective
Our goal is to enhance and improve the skills of municipal staff in designing zero climate impact policies, such as the Climate City Contract.
Target audience
The project targets 20 participants/officials per country working in public administration at both local and regional level (100 participants in total).
Activities
The project promotes four main actions to strengthen innovation and the design capacity of public officials in sustainable urban development and climate transition:
Creation of a digital roadmap (action plan): to improve the skills of public officials in planning and designing local development policies aimed at achieving zero climate impact cities;
Development of a training course entitled "Transition to climate-neutral cities": for public staff and officials. The course will be structured in several thematic modules: circular economy in cities; zero-pollution cities; "smart" and sustainable mobility, etc;
Production of 5 videos (max 10 min. each): inspired by success stories within the initiatives undertaken towards the transition to climate neutrality in cities;
Creation of an online hub (e-learning platform): to host the training material on "Transition to climate-neutral cities", including the online training course, videos on success stories, and the digital roadmap as an action plan for designing policies that foster the development of zero climate impact cities.
Impact
100 public officials will be involved in the project activities
More than 125 participants involved in multiplier events
