TOMORROW is a Horizon 2020 funded project, aiming at empowering local authorities to lead the transition towards low-carbon, resilient and more liveable cities.
==General introduction ==
Energy Cities and the Dutch Research Institute for Transitions (DRIFT), together with the pilot cities of Brașov (Romania), Brest (France), Dublin (Ireland), Mouscron (Belgium), Niš (Serbia) and Valencia (Spain), spearhead innovative ways to develop long-term transition roadmaps, by implementing the revised transition management methodology. The '''six cities will develop 2050 transition roadmaps together with citizens''' and other local stakeholders and serve as pilot for the transition of European territories.

TOMORROW provides '''innovative engagement processes''' in order to foster wide and meaningful participation. Such processes will be based on a review of existing methodologies and approaches successfully used by some frontrunners cities, called lighthouse, involved in the project.

TOMORROW produced a set of '''factsheets and methodological guidelines''' to be used as a toolbox by European cities.

===Project Funding===
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 847136. ''Links''[[File:Flag of Europe.svg|thumb]]
==Main insights on/for sustainable just cities==
''[Describe how the project/initiative addresses (urban) (un)sustainability and/or (in)justice directly or indirectly, explicitly or implicitly, through concepts and theories and/or through empirical research. Max. 500 words.]''

==Suggested key readings & links==
The TOMORROW Transition Toolbox includes a set of guidelines and practical workbooks on how to develop a transition roadmap for (European) cities.

*The Designing participatory transformative processes for just and zero-carbon cities - [https://drift.eur.nl/app/uploads/2022/10/TOMORROW_methodological-guidelines_Web.pdf Methodological guidelines for using Transition Management] supports policy workers in (European) cities who want to design a transformative and participatory process for realising just and climate-neutral cities. Based on a three-year research project with six European cities (TOMORROW), this guide has been developed to address issues encountered in the practice of urban transitions: from redesigning municipal institutions to creating legitimacy for radicality and shaping co-creation. The guide can be used to work towards developing a roadmap for decarbonisation in 2030 or 2050, but also to develop sustainability policies, trade agreements, or memoranda, and can be used by teams in public or private organisations, across organisations and/ or with support from a third party. Importantly, the process of transition management that this guide covers is more important than any anticipated outputs.
*The [https://www.citiesoftomorrow.eu/sites/default/files/documents/TOMORROW_workbook_Web.pdf Workbook Vol.1 For Urban Transition Makers] is a collection of tools for change makers willing to contribute to sustainability transitions in cities. More specifically, this workbook explains the tools to get started with so-called transition governance.
*The [https://drift.eur.nl/app/uploads/2022/10/TOMORROW_workbook2_Web.pdf Workbook Vol. 2 For Urban Transition Makers] is a collection of tools and methods that supports policy makers, civil servants and other actors in cities in their efforts to design a transformative and participatory process for realising just and climate-neutral cities. An urban transition maker is any person, group or organisation who would like to adapt and implement transition governance processes.

==About the Wiki==
[[File:JUSTRA Cities network.jpg|thumb|https://www.eur.nl/en/research/research-programme/vcc-projects-page/justra-cities-network]]
The Wiki on Sustainable Just Cities was conceived under the assumption that actionable knowledge is needed to transform our cities into more sustainable and just environments. This knowledge is to be both relevant and accessible to as many people as possible.

The Wiki is organized as a knowledge commons based approach for its greater potential to promote sustainability and justice. Knowledge commons are shared information resources, governed by a community of users according to an agreed set of rules, conventions and procedures. Such a decentralized approach to knowledge co-creation and information sharing uses the ‘wisdom of the crowd’ to support inclusive, co-creative, open-access and open-source approaches to knowledge generation. In order to transform our cities into more sustainable and just environments, we need actionable knowledge that is relevant and accessible to as many people as possible.

The [[UrbanA]] (Urban Arenas for Sustainable and Just Cities) project, an EU Horizon 2020 project, aimed to further develop and translate knowledge into action through the Wiki on Sustainable Just Cities. With the [[UrbanA|UrbanA project]] having ended in March 2022, the [[Vital Cities and Citizens|Just Sustainability Transitions in Cities Network of the Vital Cities and Citizens initiative of the Erasmus University Rotterdam]] has taken over the curation of the wiki, in partnership with [[ICLEI (Local Governments for Sustainability)|ICLEI Europe]].

The '''UrbanA (Urban Arenas for Sustainable and Just Cities)''' project's aim was to consolidate and communicate the knowledge and experience related to urban social '''(in)equality and ecological (un)sustainability''' as well as on understanding the '''connections, tensions and contradictions''' between the two. The UrbanA project then synthesized these learnings into the Wiki on Sustainable Just Cities.

Rachel Williams: added TOMORROW project deliverables

{{Construction}}
TOMORROW is a Horizon 2020 funded project, aiming at empowering local authorities to lead the transition towards low-carbon, resilient and more liveable cities.
==General introduction ==
Energy Cities and the Dutch Research Institute for Transitions (DRIFT), together with the pilot cities of Brașov (Romania), Brest (France), Dublin (Ireland), Mouscron (Belgium), Niš (Serbia) and Valencia (Spain), spearhead innovative ways to develop long-term transition roadmaps, by implementing the revised transition management methodology. The '''six cities will develop 2050 transition roadmaps together with citizens''' and other local stakeholders and serve as pilot for the transition of European territories.

TOMORROW provides '''innovative engagement processes''' in order to foster wide and meaningful participation. Such processes will be based on a review of existing methodologies and approaches successfully used by some frontrunners cities, called lighthouse, involved in the project.

TOMORROW produced a set of '''factsheets and methodological guidelines''' to be used as a toolbox by European cities.

===Project Funding===
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 847136. ''Links''[[File:Flag of Europe.svg|thumb]]
==Main insights on/for sustainable just cities==
''[Describe how the project/initiative addresses (urban) (un)sustainability and/or (in)justice directly or indirectly, explicitly or implicitly, through concepts and theories and/or through empirical research. Max. 500 words.]''

==Suggested key readings & links==
The TOMORROW Transition Toolbox includes a set of guidelines and practical workbooks on how to develop a transition roadmap for (European) cities.

*The Designing participatory transformative processes for just and zero-carbon cities - [https://drift.eur.nl/app/uploads/2022/10/TOMORROW_methodological-guidelines_Web.pdf Methodological guidelines for using Transition Management] supports policy workers in (European) cities who want to design a transformative and participatory process for realising just and climate-neutral cities. Based on a three-year research project with six European cities (TOMORROW), this guide has been developed to address issues encountered in the practice of urban transitions: from redesigning municipal institutions to creating legitimacy for radicality and shaping co-creation. The guide can be used to work towards developing a roadmap for decarbonisation in 2030 or 2050, but also to develop sustainability policies, trade agreements, or memoranda, and can be used by teams in public or private organisations, across organisations and/ or with support from a third party. Importantly, the process of transition management that this guide covers is more important than any anticipated outputs.
*The [https://www.citiesoftomorrow.eu/sites/default/files/documents/TOMORROW_workbook_Web.pdf Workbook Vol.1 For Urban Transition Makers] is a collection of tools for change makers willing to contribute to sustainability transitions in cities. More specifically, this workbook explains the tools to get started with so-called transition governance.
*The [https://drift.eur.nl/app/uploads/2022/10/TOMORROW_workbook2_Web.pdf Workbook Vol. 2 For Urban Transition Makers] is a collection of tools and methods that supports policy makers, civil servants and other actors in cities in their efforts to design a transformative and participatory process for realising just and climate-neutral cities. An urban transition maker is any person, group or organisation who would like to adapt and implement transition governance processes.

This Wiki on Sustainable Just Cities is part of a knowledge commons that serves as a resource for everyone who wants to contribute to more sustainable and just cities. It is not only for everyone to use the knowledge there, but also for everyone to share and add their own knowledge and experience. The idea of a knowledge commons is that it is owned and governed by all of those who use it.

==About the Wiki==
[[File:JUSTRA Cities network.jpg|thumb|https://www.eur.nl/en/research/research-programme/vcc-projects-page/justra-cities-network]]
The Wiki on Sustainable Just Cities was conceived under the assumption that actionable knowledge is needed to transform our cities into more sustainable and just environments. This knowledge is to be both relevant and accessible to as many people as possible.

The Wiki is organized as a knowledge commons based approach for its greater potential to promote sustainability and justice. Knowledge commons are shared information resources, governed by a community of users according to an agreed set of rules, conventions and procedures. Such a decentralized approach to knowledge co-creation and information sharing uses the ‘wisdom of the crowd’ to support inclusive, co-creative, open-access and open-source approaches to knowledge generation. In order to transform our cities into more sustainable and just environments, we need actionable knowledge that is relevant and accessible to as many people as possible.

The [[UrbanA]] (Urban Arenas for Sustainable and Just Cities) project, an EU Horizon 2020 project, aimed to further develop and translate knowledge into action through the Wiki on Sustainable Just Cities. With the [[UrbanA|UrbanA project]] having ended in March 2022, the [[Vital Cities and Citizens|Just Sustainability Transitions in Cities Network of the Vital Cities and Citizens initiative of the Erasmus University Rotterdam]] has taken over the curation of the wiki, in partnership with [[ICLEI (Local Governments for Sustainability)|ICLEI Europe]].

The UrbanA (Urban Arenas for Sustainable and Just Cities) project's aim was to consolidate and communicate the knowledge and experience related to urban social (in)equality and ecological (un)sustainability as well as on understanding the connections, tensions and contradictions between the two. The UrbanA project then synthesized these learnings into the Wiki on Sustainable Just Cities.

Transition roadmaps for resilient and sustainable cities

2022-10-31T16:01:30Z

Rachel Williams: remove construction

== Introduction ==

A transition roadmap is a policy tool and instrument that supports and guides municipalities and other societal actors in addressing climate change and in implementing actions towards building more sustainable and resilient cities. Transition roadmaps aid cities and their citizens in addressing questions like: "''what is needed, and by when, to reach a zero-carbon city in 2050?".'' An efficient transition roadmap considers the following questions (Jeffrey et al., 2013; McGrail, 2014):

* '''Objectives:''' Where do we want to go?
* '''Status/Challenges:''' Where are we now?
* '''Process/Needs:''' How can we get there?

A transition roadmap includes a detailed and strategic framework for measuring, planning, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions and related climatic impacts for a specific city or territory. More specifically, a transition roadmap involves the development of visions of what the city could be in the future and sets greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets, outlines actions to reduce those emissions, and launches implementation strategies. Municipalities design, plan and use climate action plans as roadmaps that are useful for making informed decisions and to better comprehend how to achieve effective and meaningful greenhouse gas emission reductions.

== Overview of transition roadmaps ==

TOMORROW is a Horizon 2020 funded project, aiming at empowering local authorities to lead the transition towards low-carbon, resilient and more liveable cities.
==General introduction ==
Energy Cities and the Dutch Research Institute for Transitions (DRIFT), together with the pilot cities of Brașov (Romania), Brest (France), Dublin (Ireland), Mouscron (Belgium), Niš (Serbia) and Valencia (Spain), spearhead innovative ways to develop long-term transition roadmaps, by implementing the revised transition management methodology. The '''six cities will develop 2050 transition roadmaps together with citizens''' and other local stakeholders and serve as pilot for the transition of European territories.

TOMORROW provides '''innovative engagement processes''' in order to foster wide and meaningful participation. Such processes will be based on a review of existing methodologies and approaches successfully used by some frontrunners cities, called lighthouse, involved in the project.

TOMORROW produced a set of '''factsheets and methodological guidelines''' to be used as a toolbox by European cities.

This Wiki on Sustainable Just Cities is part of a knowledge commons that serves as a resource for everyone who wants to contribute to more sustainable and just cities. It is not only for everyone to use the knowledge there, but also for everyone to share and add their own knowledge and experience. The idea of a knowledge commons is that it is owned and governed by all of those who use it.

'''You are warmly invited to edit and adapt any of the current pages, by e.g. adding examples, correcting or complementing information. And/or to add your own approaches, projects, initiatives and user profiles. Becoming a Wiki-user is very easy and quick.'''

For information on how to contribute, please check out the [[Urban Arena Wiki:User guide|User guide]]. This guide includes links to tips on formatting and editing wiki pages.

In the video below UrbanA researcher Flor Avelino explains the importance of the wiki to UrbanA's knowledge co-creation processes.

==About the Wiki==
[[File:JUSTRA Cities network.jpg|thumb|https://www.eur.nl/en/research/research-programme/vcc-projects-page/justra-cities-network]]
The Wiki on Sustainable Just Cities was conceived under the assumption that actionable knowledge is needed to transform our cities into more sustainable and just environments. This knowledge is to be both relevant and accessible to as many people as possible.

The Wiki is organized as a knowledge commons based approach for its greater potential to promote sustainability and justice. Knowledge commons are shared information resources, governed by a community of users according to an agreed set of rules, conventions and procedures. Such a decentralized approach to knowledge co-creation and information sharing uses the ‘wisdom of the crowd’ to support inclusive, co-creative, open-access and open-source approaches to knowledge generation. In order to transform our cities into more sustainable and just environments, we need actionable knowledge that is relevant and accessible to as many people as possible.

The [[UrbanA]] (Urban Arenas for Sustainable and Just Cities) project, an EU Horizon 2020 project, aimed to further develop and translate knowledge into action through the Wiki on Sustainable Just Cities. With the [[UrbanA|UrbanA project]] having ended in March 2022, the [[Vital Cities and Citizens|Just Sustainability Transitions in Cities Network of the Vital Cities and Citizens initiative of the Erasmus University Rotterdam]] has taken over the curation of the wiki, in partnership with [[ICLEI (Local Governments for Sustainability)|ICLEI Europe]].

=== About UrbanA and the Community of Practice ===

The UrbanA (Urban Arenas for Sustainable and Just Cities) project's aim was to consolidate and communicate the knowledge and experience related to urban social (in)equality and ecological (un)sustainability as well as on understanding the connections, tensions and contradictions between the two. The UrbanA project then synthesized these learnings into the Wiki on Sustainable Just Cities.

==About the Wiki==
[[File:JUSTRA Cities network.jpg|thumb|https://www.eur.nl/en/research/research-programme/vcc-projects-page/justra-cities-network]]
The Wiki on Sustainable Just Cities was conceived under the assumption that actionable knowledge is needed to transform our cities into more sustainable and just environments. This knowledge is to be both relevant and accessible to as many people as possible.

The Wiki is organized as a knowledge commons based approach for its greater potential to promote sustainability and justice. Knowledge commons are shared information resources, governed by a community of users according to an agreed set of rules, conventions and procedures. Such a decentralized approach to knowledge co-creation and information sharing uses the ‘wisdom of the crowd’ to support inclusive, co-creative, open-access and open-source approaches to knowledge generation. In order to transform our cities into more sustainable and just environments, we need actionable knowledge that is relevant and accessible to as many people as possible.

The [[UrbanA]] (Urban Arenas for Sustainable and Just Cities) project, an EU Horizon 2020 project, aimed to further develop and translate knowledge into action through the Wiki on Sustainable Just Cities. With the [[UrbanA|UrbanA project]] having ended in March 2022, the [[Vital Cities and Citizens|Just Sustainability Transitions in Cities Network of the Vital Cities and Citizens initiative of the Erasmus University Rotterdam]] has taken over the curation of the wiki, in partnership with [[ICLEI (Local Governments for Sustainability)|ICLEI Europe]].

{{#ev:youtube|h2mXmYnhpqg|500|right||frame}}

The UrbanA (Urban Arenas for Sustainable and Just Cities) project's aim was to consolidate and communicate the knowledge and experience related to urban social (in)equality and ecological (un)sustainability as well as on understanding the connections, tensions and contradictions between the two. The UrbanA project then synthesized these learnings into the Wiki on Sustainable Just Cities.

==Why this Wiki==
In order to transform our cities into more sustainable and just environments, we need actionable knowledge that is relevant and accessible to as many people as possible. Currently, too much knowledge remains fragmented and inaccessible. Through the UrbanA project, we aim to synthesize and broker existing knowledge as well as further develop and translate knowledge into action. One important way in which we do this is through the UrbanA Wiki Database on Sustainable Just Cities.

A Wiki is a decentralized approach to knowledge co-creation and information sharing. The ‘wisdom of the crowd’ is in the lead (instead of top-down development by a central manager). It supports inclusive, co-creative, open access and open source approaches to knowledge generation.

Cities play a key role in responding to the great challenges of our time. However increasing poverty and inequality, exacerbated by the recent financial and housing crises, are putting the social cohesion and resilience of European cities to the test.

Much research has focused on teasing out the causes of urban social inequality and ecological unsustainability, and on understanding the connections, tensions and contradictions between the two. Research and innovation have also contributed to the development of ways to make cities more just and sustainable. Yet the need to consolidate and effectively communicate this knowledge and experience remains.

UrbanA, Urban Arenas for Sustainable and Just Cities, takes up this challenge. Further information on UrbanA, a major EU-funded project on urban sustainability and justice, can be found on the project's [http://www.urban-arena.eu public website].

==Why this Wiki==
In order to transform our cities into more sustainable and just environments, we need actionable knowledge that is relevant and accessible to as many people as possible. Currently, too much knowledge remains fragmented and inaccessible. Through the UrbanA project, we aim to synthesize and broker existing knowledge as well as further develop and translate knowledge into action. One important way in which we do this is through the UrbanA Wiki Database on Sustainable Just Cities.

A Wiki is a decentralized approach to knowledge co-creation and information sharing. The ‘wisdom of the crowd’ is in the lead (instead of top-down development by a central manager). It supports inclusive, co-creative, open access and open source approaches to knowledge generation.

Cities play a key role in responding to the great challenges of our time. However increasing poverty and inequality, exacerbated by the recent financial and housing crises, are putting the social cohesion and resilience of European cities to the test.

Much research has focused on teasing out the causes of urban social inequality and ecological unsustainability, and on understanding the connections, tensions and contradictions between the two. Research and innovation have also contributed to the development of ways to make cities more just and sustainable. Yet the need to consolidate and effectively communicate this knowledge and experience remains.

UrbanA, Urban Arenas for Sustainable and Just Cities, takes up this challenge. Further information on UrbanA, a major EU-funded project on urban sustainability and justice, can be found on the project's [http://www.urban-arena.eu public website].

]]

== Summary ==

'''Bristol Community Energy Fund''' is an '''energy scheme''' created by Bristol City Council in 2015 with the aim of supporting and enhancing local energy production and consumption. More specifically, the initiative supports local groups through grant and loan offers and enable them to develop projects on sustainability, renewable energy and energy efficiency in the Greater Bristol area. The Bristol Community Energy Fund collaborates also with local businesses to support them to contribute to and address environmental and social issues in the city.

== Goals ==

* Promote local energy production and consumption;

* Support the development of projects on sustainability, renewable energy and energy efficiency by providing grants and loans to local groups and associations;

* Foster active participation of citizens and their collaboration with the local authorities and businesses contributing to the energy transition.

== How it works ==

The administration of the loan is run by the Community Energy Fund in collaboration with the Centre for Sustainable Energy (CSE). The organisations wishing to receive a loan need to send an application for a project. The applications are then analysed and selected by a decision panel formed by officers from Bristol City Council and the CSE.

The organisations can use the loan for the following activities:

* Planning application costs;

* Solicitors fees for a landowner lease agreement;

* Solicitors fees for a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA);

* Financial modelling;

* Accountants fees for financial due diligence;

* Preparation and launch of share offer;

* Community engagement and consultation;

* Project management costs;

* Costs of arranging a grid connection.

So far, '''39 different projects''' have been funded through the Bristol Community Energy Fund. The overview of the projects can be found [https://www.bristolcommunityenergy.co.uk/projects/ '''online'''].

To date, the total amount of grants that have been issued through the grants programme of Bristol Community Energy Fund is £ 223,869. In November 2017, the Bristol Community Energy Fund has distributed £128,000 to local organisations and groups in order to support them to develop innovative projects on sustainability and renewable energy in the Greater Bristol area.

According to a monitoring and evaluation study of the Bristol Energy Network (BEN):

* The Bristol Community Energy Fund developed successful collaborations between new (non-energy) groups and other BEN members;

* The fund managed to reach more vulnerable and deprived areas;

* The participants of the fund found the application process clear and received support valuable;

* Reporting and data collection could be improved;

* The fund would benefit from the organisation of events to share experiences among the different member’s organisations.

== Transformative potential ==

Bristol Community Energy Fund represents an innovative initiative contributing to '''improving the urban governance''' of the Greater Bristol area and to promoting the sustainability and energy transition in the city. The loans and grants offered to local groups for developing sustainabilityrelated projects '''empower citizens to become more active''' to transform their city and connect them to other organisations and businesses. The Bristol Community Energy Fund model could be adapted and applied in other cities thought the collaboration of local authorities with other local stakeholders.

San Sebastián’s 2050 roadmap

2022-10-11T08:09:20Z

Rachel Williams: Category: Governance Projects

== Summary ==
[[File:Screen Shot 2022-08-11 at 10.59.14 AM.png|thumb|The city of San Sebastian. Credit: Miquel Fabre]]
In 2017, the municipality of San Sebastián, Spain, initiated a '''participatory process''' with the aim to develop a local climate change strategy for the city and its citizens. The result of this participatory process is the 2050 roadmap: the “Plan de Acción Klima 2050 de Donostia/San Sebastián” (in English the '''Donostia/San Sebastián’s Climate Action Plan 2050'''). Another aim of the process was to raise citizens’ awareness of Climate Change and encourage them to take individual and collective actions. The plan has been approved by the City Hall on June 5, 2018. The roadmap has the overall vision to make San Sebastián city carbon neutral by 2050. The objectives included in the roadmap are also based on the 2050 Climate Change Strategy of the entire Basque Autonomous Community. <blockquote>''“The city of the future needs people like those who have made the city of the present a reality. Citizens who are responsible, active and trained to achieve global, changing evolution, which is only possible by means of strong values and social capital.”''

- Estrategia 2030 Donostia/ San Sebastián </blockquote>

== Goals ==

* Make San Sebastián '''carbon neutral''' by 2050 by reducing CO2 emissions by at least 80% compared to 2007;
* Promote the active participation of citizens and mobilisation around Climate Change issues;
* Achieve zero emissions in transport;
* Decarbonise the energy sector;
* Produce and consume goods based on principles of the circular economy and promote zero waste;
* Sustainable maintenance, construction and usage of infrastructures and buildings.

== How it works ==
The process of development of the roadmap is based on:

* A study on the state of the art in climate change including an analysis of action plans (i.e. roadmaps) developed in seventeen cities in Europe.
* The results of an [https://www.donostia.eus/ataria/documents/8023875/8246263/documentotallerKlima_170907_b.pdf/f13b5242-10a2-4950-97a5-c26decea5d52 ‘intergenerational workshop’] taking place on December 15th, 2016 and engaging 50 participants. The workshops aimed at collecting ideas, knowledge and visions related to Climate Change by a diverse group of participants.

The results of both the study and the workshop resulted in the development of the 2050 roadmap. The roadmap identifies key sectors and associated objectives to be achieved in order to accomplish the overall goal to reduce CO2 emissions by more than 80% by 2050:

* '''Occupation and land use:''' Reduce land use by limiting the artificial occupation of more territory;
* '''Mobility of people and goods:''' Zero emissions in transport;
* '''Production, consumption of goods and waste generation/Circular Economy:''' Zero waste;
* '''Construction, use and maintenance of infrastructure and buildings:''' More than 80% of buildings with high energy efficiency;
* '''Energy/Decarbonisation:''' More than 80% of renewable energy on the total energy consumption.

The roadmap identifies five strategic areas of action:

* '''Information:''' i.e. the way citizens get to know and share information about climate issues;
* '''Lifestyles:''' i.e. the relationship between citizens’ actions and CO2 emissions;
* '''Infrastructures:''' i.e. the way citizens experience the city´s physical (e.g. infrastructure like buildings) character;
* '''Technology:''' i.e. the way citizens apply knowledge gained through e.g. smart applications to reduce their emissions;
* '''Norms:''' i.e. the way citizens adjust to and support each other within their social relations.

Those five strategic areas of action were then applied to four different sectors: Energy, Circular Economy, Land Use and Mobility. This exercise within the city’s roadmap resulted in a diverse set of actions that will enable San Sebastián to reach carbon neutrality by 2050.

== Transformative Potential ==
The development and implementation of San Sebastián’s roadmap represents an innovative process promoting '''active participation of citizens''' and '''collaborative governance'''. This initiative represents an innovative way on how to introduce climate change objectives into the structures and cultures of a city administration. San Sebastián’s roadmap is an example of a municipality that it is redefining urban climate and energy governance and citizen participation and will hopefully inspire other cities to design and develop similar processes in their contexts.

Mannheim on a climate-friendly course

2022-10-11T08:05:11Z

Rachel Williams: Category: Democratic Projects

== Summary ==
[[File:Screen Shot 2022-08-11 at 11.27.42 AM.png|thumb]]
The Municipality of Mannheim, Germany, has developed a climate action plan that aims at reducing local CO2 emissions by '''40 per cent by 2020'''. As part of this plan, Mannheim city has the purpose to implement climate protection activities related to different sectors such as mobility, resource conservation and energy and to promote the collaboration and networking among residents, experts and other local stakeholders. The city has been active in setting up '''a citywide campaign - Mannheim Auf Klimakurs''' (Mannheim on a climate-friendly course) - to engage local stakeholder in energy and climate actions. The campaign aims to strategically bundle energy and political climate protection measures and make them more visible. <blockquote>''“The world needs new heroes, who lead the way and show what a responsible approach to our planet looks like”''

- Katarina Ressel, Climate Protection Agency </blockquote>

== Goals ==

* Promote '''equal access''' to municipal services and encourage citizens’ active engagement;
* Promote '''social innovation''', social inclusion and sustainability education;
* Foster local and '''sharing economy''';
* Implement '''climate protection''' and sustainability activities in different sectors;
* '''Encourage collaboration and networking''' among residents, experts and other local stakeholders.

== How it works ==
The campaign consists of four spheres of activities. For each sphere, the city has been promoting and implementing more than 60 projects and activities.

'''1. Role Model City:''' the municipality leads by example, by taking concrete actions for sustainability and climate change mitigation and adaptation. Activities include:

* Street lighting: gradual conversion to LED technology;
* Supplying the city council with 100% green electricity;
* Public transportation tickets, car sharing, service bicycles: CO2-free business trips;
* FlurfunkE: “Energy and climate protection” action programme for the city council;
* A series of events on climate protection.

'''2. Sustainable District:''' engaging key local stakeholders for the implementation of integrated district schemes and climate-friendly urban development. Activities include:

* Climate-friendly model districts;
* Sustainable mobility in the districts;
* Local supporting programme for the greening of roof, façade and unsealing surfaces;
* Energy advice in the districts: Energy Extra Tour for private homeowners, businesses and public facilities.

'''3. Local Commitment:''' strengthening climate protection awareness and commitment by encouraging the active participation and engagement of local stakeholders in different projects and activities related to sustainability. Activities include:

* Environmental education for children and young people, “Climate heroes” project in schools and “Heroic acts for the climate” competition;
* An environmental award from the City of Mannheim for environmental and climate protection topics;
* Participation to “Earth Hour” and “Green Actions” (trees-sponsoring) campaigns;
* “Energy efficiency in sports clubs” funding programme;
* Participation in cycling campaigns, “Cycle to work”, “Bicycle salon”.

'''4. Active Businesses:''' actively engaging small and medium-sized companies and industries in Mannheim to help them contribute and commit to environmental and climate protection actions. Activities include:

ENGAGE Campaign in Ivanić-Grad

2022-10-11T08:03:55Z

Rachel Williams: Category: Democratic Projects

== Summary ==
[[File:Screen Shot 2022-08-11 at 11.47.05 AM.png|thumb|Credits: Ivanic-Grad City]]
Ivanić-Grad, a 15.000 people town in Croatia is committed to decarbonise its community as part of its participation to the Covenant of Mayors. Since 2010, the municipality has initiated the '''ENGAGE campaign''' aiming at actively '''engaging citizens in energy-saving actions''' and raising awareness on sustainable energy. <blockquote>''"In the City of Ivanić-Grad the success of the ENGAGE Campaign is based on an excellent cooperation with stakeholders, associations and citizens. As a modern PR campaign, ENGAGE is implemented in every local event in the City”''

- Vlatka Berlan Vlahek, Head of Department of City Development, Ivanić-Grad </blockquote>

== Goals ==

* Contribute to mobilize citizens and other stakeholders to build a sustainable energy future;
* Raise awareness amongst citizens and other local stakeholders about energy savings;
* Promote the collaboration between citizens, local authorities, companies and other stakeholders.

== How it works ==

* Since 2010, through the ENGAGE campaign, the municipality has been engaging around 300 citizens with different backgrounds and ages for developing multiple energy-saving activities.
* One of the first steps of the ENGAGE campaign was to engage citizens through a poster campaign that tells tangible local stories.
* Citizens make their own personal energy reduction pledge on a poster. The poster shows how they are going to use less energy in their everyday activities.
* The posters of all citizens are exposed in public spaces of the city during important events.
* 79 out of the 300 citizens participating in the campaign accepted to have their energy consumption monitored. They agreed on sharing data regarding their energy consumption at home and their mobility habits. All the data from all 79 people were then analysed and inserted in a document. A year later, the data was analysed again to assess the changes in the energy consumption. The results
* showed an average of 17% reduction in
* individual CO2 emissions.
* Examples of behavioural change triggered by the ENGAGE campaign were the shift of mobility habits from individual cars to public transport and bikes, car sharing or soft modes.
* Private companies have also been involved in the campaign which they considered an opportunity to improve cooperation with the city and to promote their services to the citizens. For example, some taxi drivers have committed to start using biofuel instead of gasoline and diesel in their cars.

==== The Key achievements of ENGAGE campaign in Ivanic-Grad are the following: ====

* 77 tones of CO2 emissions prevented and 64,000 KWh of primary energy saved by engaging citizens and renovating public buildings within a year;
* On average, a citizen has reduced his/her annual CO2 emissions by 17% within a year thanks to the campaign;
* Joined the Covenant of Mayors in 2009;
* As a signatory to the Covenant of Mayors the city of Ivanić-Grad commits to reducing its CO2 emissions by 21% by 2020.

== Transformative Potential ==
The ENGAGE campaign run by Ivanić-Grad municipality encouraged citizens to take concrete actions and have more sustainable lifestyle. It also represented an opportunity for '''strengthening the dialogue and cooperation between the city and its community'''. The lessons learnt from the overall ENGAGE campaign shows that campaigns need to be dynamic and they need to continue for a long time in order to engage as much stakeholders as possible. In addition, a key success factor remains the integration of such a campaign into already existing initiatives of the local administration.

District Power: citizens as energy prosumers - Walenstadt

2022-10-11T08:01:20Z

Rachel Williams: Category: Smart City Projects

[[File:Walenstadt.PNG|thumb|frame| “Quartierstrom” developed a prototype of a microgrid in which solar power is traded within a local community in Walenstadt. Thanks to the blockchain technology, the electricity produced from local rooftop panels can be sold directly from household to household on the lowest grid level, without the utility company as an intermediary.]]

== Summary ==

“Quartierstrom” (district power in English) project aims to promote the production and consumption of solar energy locally. The project is led by ETH Zurich and the University of St. Gallen and involves multiple partners from universities and industry. Additionally, the project partners also collaborate with the local utility company, the Water and Electricity Works, and with local residents. The project has been supported by the Swiss Federal Office of Energy. “Quartierstrom” enables the set-up of exchange and remuneration of electricity between consumers, prosumers and the local electric grid provider. More specifically, it developed a prototype of a microgrid in which solar power is traded within a local community in Walenstadt. Thanks to the blockchain technology, the electricity produced from local rooftop panels can be sold directly from household to household on the lowest grid level, without the utility company as an intermediary. Owners of photovoltaic systems can sell surplus electricity to their neighbours, giving households without solar panels the opportunity to purchase clean and locally produced energy.

== Goals ==

* Promote the production and consumption of solar energy locally;

* Investigate if local energy markets with bottom-up grid tariffs are a viable approach in the local electricity supply systems and if blockchain is a suitable method for processing transactions in a local electricity market;

* Integrate a technological solution with active engagement of citizens as energy prosumers.

== How it works ==

37 households participate in the project and form a local electricity market. Among these households, 28 participants owned solar power systems and 9 were consumers, including a retirement/nursing home. The systems combined have an output of approximately 290 kW and supply around 300,000 kWh of electricity annually. The electricity demand of the entire community is around 250,000 kWh per year.

The project investigates:

* The technical feasibility of a blockchain-managed community energy system and its impact in terms of local utilization of solar energy, grid quality and energy efficiency;

* Suitable market mechanisms and resulting market prices for local electricity;

* The design of an appropriate user interface, user engagement over time and the overall acceptance of the system by the users.

As part of the implementation of the project, each household has been supplied with prototypical smart meters measuring currents, voltages and frequencies. These meters are integrated into a single board computer that connects the system to the blockchain.

The local grid operator and electricity supplier, the Water and Electricity Works Walenstadt, provided access to the distribution grid for the implementation of the project. Grid costs (i.e. bottom-up grid tariffs) for local transactions are lower than if the electricity would be purchased outside of the community. Bottom-up grid tariffs differentiate when solar energy is traded within the community network or if energy is purchased from outside the community network. Unfortunately, the Swiss legislation does not support these bottom up grid pricing schemes yet. In order to test the bottom-up tariff model, the project covered the grid costs from higher grid
levels.

The local electricity market started operating from January 2019 and it will stop in January 2020. On the project’s website it is possible to check the amount of solar power that is produced and self-consumed in the community and to analyse the level of self-sufficiency of the community. The households participating in the project can use a web app to define their choices for buying and selling energy within the community. The solar power system operators determine the conditions under which they would like to market their surplus solar power to the neighbourhood, while electricity consumers can determine the maximum price of the electricity that they can buy within the neighbourhood.

== Transformative potential ==

Generating and distributing electricity within the neighbourhood contribute to reduce the energy that needs to be transported from outside the community. The project represents an energy innovation promoting active engagement of citizens as energy prosumers and fostering local renewable energy production. The further analysis and dissemination of the results of the project will be very important for a better understanding of the feasibility of this innovative pilot and for determining its potential replication in other cities and countries.

== Introduction ==

A transition roadmap is a policy tool and instrument that supports and guides municipalities and other societal actors in addressing climate change and in implementing actions towards building more sustainable and resilient cities. Transition roadmaps aid cities and their citizens in addressing questions like: "''what is needed, and by when, to reach a zero-carbon city in 2050?".'' An efficient transition roadmap considers the following questions (Jeffrey et al., 2013; McGrail, 2014):

* '''Objectives:''' Where do we want to go?
* '''Status/Challenges:''' Where are we now?
* '''Process/Needs:''' How can we get there?

A transition roadmap includes a detailed and strategic framework for measuring, planning, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions and related climatic impacts for a specific city or territory. More specifically, a transition roadmap involves the development of visions of what the city could be in the future and sets greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets, outlines actions to reduce those emissions, and launches implementation strategies. Municipalities design, plan and use climate action plans as roadmaps that are useful for making informed decisions and to better comprehend how to achieve effective and meaningful greenhouse gas emission reductions.

== Introduction ==

A transition roadmap is a policy tool and instrument that supports and guides municipalities and other societal actors in addressing climate change and in implementing actions towards building more sustainable and resilient cities. Transition roadmaps aid cities and their citizens in addressing questions like: "''what is needed, and by when, to reach a zero-carbon city in 2050?".'' An efficient transition roadmap considers the following questions (Jeffrey et al., 2013; McGrail, 2014):

* '''Objectives:''' Where do we want to go?
* '''Status/Challenges:''' Where are we now?
* '''Process/Needs:''' How can we get there?

A transition roadmap includes a detailed and strategic framework for measuring, planning, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions and related climatic impacts for a specific city or territory. More specifically, a transition roadmap involves the development of visions of what the city could be in the future and sets greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets, outlines actions to reduce those emissions, and launches implementation strategies. Municipalities design, plan and use climate action plans as roadmaps that are useful for making informed decisions and better comprehend how to achieve effective and meaningful greenhouse gas emissions reductions.

Rotterdam climate agreement

2022-09-14T14:13:42Z

Rachel Williams: Category: Smart City

[[File:Rotterdam climate.PNG|thumb|frame|The ‘Climate Table Mobility’ proposes CO2 neutral, healthy, inclusive and affordable mobility for Rotterdam, in
which shared and slow mobility are the norm, as well as improve the liveability and inclusivity.]]

== Summary ==

Rotterdam has developed the Rotterdam Climate Agreement, resulting in 49 climate deals with concrete measures towards 49% CO2 emission reduction in the city by 2030 (compared to 2017). The climate deals have been developed in different sessions around five themes: port and industry; built environment; mobility; clean energy; and consumption. The ‘Climate Table Mobility’ proposes CO2 neutral, healthy, inclusive and affordable mobility for Rotterdam, in
which shared and slow mobility are the norm, as well as improve the liveability and inclusivity. The tables were chaired by external experts, and the mobility table specifically was chaired by Derk Loorbach, director of the Dutch Research Institute for Transitions (DRIFT).

== Goals ==

* Transform Rotterdam into an accessible, healthy and inclusive city;

* Implement an experimental governance approach;

* Reduce CO2 emissions of the city;

* Build on existing dynamics and initiatives;

* Set up a platform to support the implementation of the proposed measures;

* Implement short-term interventions for political engagement.

== How it works ==

More than 100 organisations have participated in the processes generated by the five climate tables. Each table corresponds to one of the themes of the ‘Rotterdam Climate Agreement’. All the tables shared a common goal: to develop concrete and feasible measures to reduce CO2 emissions of the city. A council member and an independent chair were assigned to each table. The chairs were asked to consult societal actors and develop a concrete proposal. A team made by a secretary, a dedicated civil servant and an expert on the topic supported the chairs. The five chairs would have regular meetings and a monthly meeting with the respective council members.

For example, the mobility table entailed six workgroups around different themes, assigning an expert civil servant to each one of them. The stakeholders involved were invited to share ideas and co-create interventions in the framework of four meetings. The process was supported and monitored by the Dutch Environmental Agency, who gave feedback on the feasibility of the measures. The result of the collaborative process resulted in 17 concrete measures.

== Transformative potential ==

Several initiatives paved the way to the Climate Tables. Above all, the political programme by the government coalition “New Energy Rotterdam” put the issue of the achievement of the city’s climate goals under the spotlight and pushed for more transformative interventions to mitigate the effects of climate change. Therefore, the municipality decided to fund the process of the climate tables. The process also encountered difficulties, including diverging agendas of the council members and stakeholders who did not agree with the process and withdrew their participation. Even now that the measures are published, the structure to ensure their implementation has not yet been created, while support from the government will be essential for the successful implementation of the measures designed.

Fossil-free energy district - Gothenburg

2022-09-14T14:11:46Z

Rachel Williams: Category: Smart City

[[File:Gothenburg energy.PNG|thumb|frame|The FED project has tested a local digital marketplace at Johanneberg Science Park as part of Chalmers University of Technology that integrates district cooling, district heating and electricity into a single system. [https://www.sustaineurope.com/gothenburg-sustainable-city-open-to-the-world-20191024.html IMAGE: Göteborgs Stad]]]

== Summary ==

The Fossil-free Energy District (FED) project has been developed between 2017 and 2019 by nine local partners in Gothenburg representing academia, industry and municipality (e.g. property owners, global ICT provider Ericsson and Gothenburg’s municipal energy company, Göteborg Energi). The FED project has tested a local digital marketplace at Johanneberg Science Park as part of Chalmers University of Technology that integrates district cooling, district heating and electricity into a single system.

== Goals ==

* Reduce the use of energy and the dependence on fossil fuel in the built environment;

* Support the energy transition in urban areas by developing, demonstrating and replicating a novel district level energy system, integrating electric power, heating and cooling;

* Establish a digital marketplace that allows buildings to automatically trade energy among themselves;

* Foster the energy transition in other areas by serving as an example for other cities.

== How it works ==

* Setting up the FED demonstrator area was the first step. It provided the opportunity to test and validate a local energy market. The area is located at a campus (Johanneberg Science Park as part of Chalmers University of Technology) with around 15000 end-users including energy infrastructure, property owners and users, prosumers, and buildings with different needs and usage profiles. The existing energy system in the campus was equipped with heat pumps, additional solar PVs and energy storages.

* The second phase consisted in the development of the FED System solution, providing a connection between the energy system and the local energy market: it consisted in an automated ICT solution developed by Ericsson company where AI-agents trade energy on behalf of the different market actors, like buildings consuming and/or generating energy.

* In parallel, the project set up a FED Business solution to create new sustainable markets by involving local stakeholders to use FED as a testbed. Five companies have already tested their products in the FED-system.

The project has developed a replication strategy offering insights on drivers, barriers and policy recommendations for the local, national and EU levels. The feasibility of scaling the FED solution in other contexts depends on the presence of existing energy infrastructures and on political, regulatory and societal aspects. Twelve new projects based on the FED-testbed have started. Six of these projects are EU-funded projects that will use the FED outcomes in different ways. Another plan for the future consists in making the campus of Johanneberg together with nearby buildings to become a testbed for local sustainable energy systems.

== Transformative potential ==

The FED project represents an innovation fostering urban energy transitions by piloting a scalable and replicable solution for energy efficiency and smart energy management in the housing sector and in public infrastructures. Its transformative potential is demonstrated by the replication activities that have been already carried out by other projects. FED provided insightful recommendations on how to facilitate its replication in other cities such as on how to engage the different local stakeholders or on how to increase the flexibility of local energy systems for providing the conditions for new business models.

A neighbourhood's cooperative for heat recovery - Amsterdam

2022-09-14T14:10:30Z

Rachel Williams: Category: Smart City

[[File:Amsterdam MeerEnergie.PNG|thumb|frame|The residents of the Middenmeer area in Amsterdam have discovered an energy source in their neighbourhood: heat released from the cooling of computers of the Equinix company, specialized in internet connection and data centers. Photo by [https://debrugkrant.nl/ambitieus-plan-restwarmte-datacenters-science-park-verwarmt-woonwijken/ ‘De Brug’]]]

== Summary ==

The residents of the Middenmeer area in Amsterdam have discovered an energy source in their neighbourhood: heat released from the cooling of computers of the Equinix company, specialized in internet connection and data centers. A group of residents, therefore, created a cooperative, MeerEnergie, to investigate the feasibility of implementation of a project to transform the data centre’s heat into heating for the local households. To that end, they started
to collaborate with Equinix and Alliander, an energy company that develops and operates energy networks.

== Goals ==

* Reduce the consumption of natural gas.

* Promote the development of an energy network that is cost neutral for residents;

* Reduce the impact of the neighbourhood on the environment by promoting the consumption of heat that otherwise would be wasted.

* Develop an inclusive cooperative in whichneighbours residents, companies and housing companies can become co-owners of the heat network;

* Use the cooperative as a starting point for future sustainable initiatives in the neighbourhood (e.g. energy-saving and solar energy projects)

== How it works ==

* MeerEnergy cooperative has been created in order to make the data centre heat available for household consumption.

* MeerEnergie is engaging local residents in different ways and it is giving them different options to participate: some members can invest and can expect returns at a later stage while other members only participate to purchase heat. The idea behind this choice is to make the cooperative open and inclusive to all the neighbours and other local stakeholders.

* MeerEnergie cooperative has initiated the collaboration with relevant local stakeholders like the municipality, Equinix company, Alliander energy company as well as housing corporations. These actors are willing to collaborate and they consider MeerEnergie as an important pilot project that can be implemented in the future in other areas of the city. Equinix company has agreed on releasing the heat without costs and Alliander will be working on the development of the grid together with the MeerEnergie cooperative.

* Additional research and technical analysis still need to be conducted in order to install the heat network.

== Transformative potential ==

MeerEnergie is an example of a neighborhood cooperative promoting an innovative model of energy consumption and ownership. It can be considered as a pilot project for developing alternatives to the current heat markets in cities, for accelerating the energy transition and for exploring new forms of energy governance. MeerEnergie successfully developed collaborations among different local stakeholders: local residents, the municipality, energy company and business. The combination of a technical solution to reduce energy with the development of local multi-actor collaborations has the potential to be replicated in other contexts.

EnergiaTa: Making Prosumerism a Reality in Romania

2022-08-25T12:51:21Z

Rachel Williams: bolded according to pdf

== Summary ==
In 2016, Mihai Toader-Pasti and Claudiu Butacu realized that it was legally impossible for them to generate their own energy and feed excess energy back into the grid. They founded '''EnergiaTa''', an organization with an innovative approach that structurally simplifies and mainstreams the process of '''becoming a prosumer'''. The organization tackles every aspect of the process, as well as taking equity issues into account: from bureaucratic issues to financial compensation and energy literacy.<blockquote>''“On the medium term we hope to get to 100,000 prosumers in Romania, and in the long term, until 2050, we hope for Romania to function 100% on energy from renewable resources.”''

- Mihai Toader-Pasti, co-founder, EnergiaTa</blockquote>

== Goals ==

* Make it possible for Romanian households to easily sell their photovoltaic energy to the grid;
* Create a '''community of prosumers''' in Romania and a representation for small energy producers;
* Encourage prosumerism in Romania through raising energy literacy and awareness, to reach one million prosumers;
* Advocate for '''easy access and smooth administrative processes''' and remuneration for injecting back into the grid;
* '''Tackle energy poverty''': ensuring that everyone in Romania can access clean and affordable energy by lowering energy bills, improving energy efficiency, and increasing household’s incomes.

== How it works ==
After three years of lobbying done by EnergiaTa, since January 1, 2019 it is now possible for an individual to sell energy to the grid in Romania (photovoltaic energy under 27kW) at 0,047 Euro / kWh.

EnergiaTa has over '''5000 members across Romania'''. In 2019, together with electricity utility company ENGIE, they launched a prosumer’s guide, containing information on how to become a prosumer, what rights prosumers have, as well as information on existing subsidies, and what to look for when buying solar panels.

EnergiaTa also organises '''events''', including the first conference for Romanian prosumers, to bring together prosumers, utility companies, solar panel companies, and public authorities. It is also '''developing partnerships''' including with micro-financing organisations to provide community-specific energy solutions addressing energy poverty. This may include energy efficiency measures, as well as skills training and education to provide economic opportunities.

== Transformative Potential ==
EnergiaTa uses an innovative approach, '''bringing citizens who want to innovate the energy system''', campaigning, and collaborating for their rights, together with other actors. They have revolutionized the Romanian energy landscape by campaigning for prosumerism and unlocking a range of subsidies. In addition, EnergiaTa promotes discussion around equity and aims to use prosumer technology to reduce energy poverty in Romania.
