Overview of transition roadmaps for resilient and sustainable cities
City Title of roadmap (incl. link) Description
Grenoble (France) Grenoble Roadmap: 2030 Energy Master Plan Grenoble designed its 2030 Energy Master Plan describing the practical guidelines to help the city achieve the objectives of the Air Energy Climate Plan. The citizen engagement charter of the city played a major role in the citizen participation process of its roadmap toward carbon neutrality. The roadmap describes in the scope of 2030 and 2050 the actions primordially directed toward reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gases emissions, supporting renewable energy-based electricity and heating systems, clean and efficient buildings as well as improving the air quality.
Manchester (UK) Manchester climate change framework 2020-2025 Manchester structured its action plan toward a climate adapted and resilient city, attentive to its carbon budget, to its residents’ health and wellbeing and to an inclusive, zero carbon and climate resilient economy. These objectives will be achieved by prioritising 6 areas: buildings, renewable energy, transport and flying, food, consumption, green infrastructures and naturebased solutions. To ensure this, the City Council engages in participatory processes and partnership with the city's various stakeholders.
Rotterdam (the Netherlands) New Energy for Rotterdam The Rotterdam Energy Transition Plan develops two scenarios to make Europe's largest port city climate neutral. One targets mainly electric solutions in public and individual transport and energy-efficiency in buildings. The second, more radical pathway aims at collective solutions in heat networks and renewable energy sources, and promotes non motorised mobility. Two key ambitions set in place are an emission-free city center and the transition away from natural gas in the heating system.
San Sebastián (Spain) Donostia / San Sebastián's Climate Action Plan 2050 Through a participatory process, the municipality of San Sebastián developed in 2017 a local climate action plan with the overall vision of a carbon neutral city by 2050. The sectors targeted are citizen participation and mobilisation, occupation and land use, mobility, energy, production and consumption,
Yokohama (Japan) Yokohama city action plan for global warming countermeasures To realise carbon neutrality by 2050, the city of Yokohama designed in 2018 a 3C approach (choice, creation, collaboration) aiming at decarbonizing the energy system, the mobility, economy, buildings, production, consumption, and lifestyles. Special attention is given to the technology and innovation as well as adaptation and resilience to the effects of climate change.
Sydney (Australia) Sydney Environmental Strategy 2021-2025 The city's environmental strategy for a sustainable Sydney covers a range of topics such as energy and water efficiency in buildings and urban planning, mobility, renewable electricity, waste avoidance and recovery, supporting residents and businesses in the sustainable transition, and the circular and green economy. A particular focus is on the inclusivity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and on equity questions related to climate change. In addition, special attention is given to the management of environmental risks and issues regarding drought and heat mitigation. The consultation and participation of residents in the action plan, the various initiatives and the citizens' jury contributed to the public engagement in the Sydney strategy.
Stockholm (Sweden) Strategy for a fossil-fuel free Stockholm by 2040 The environmental strategy of the municipality of Stockholm describes the measures undertaken to reach a fossil-fuel free and climate-smart city by 2040. It tackles the sustainable energy production and use and resource-efficient natural cycles through waste and recycled energy sources and circular economy. Two highlights of this roadmap are, firstly, the importance of eco-efficient transport, namely road traffic, aviation, shipping and work machinery. Furthermore, the city aims not only to become fossil-fuel free, but also climate neutral by 2040, using (BioEnergy) Carbon Capture and Storage.
