Spotlight Series: Cities as Ecosystems for Social Innovation

Clea Prieto2023-04-07T11:12:43+02:00

Author: Katherine Peinhardt When we look at a challenge at the scale of climate neutrality, it is often tempting to place emphasis on technological solutions. But many of the most important approaches to solving the climate crisis start at the scale of the community – they start with social innovation. Social innovation consists of new ideas and solutions aiming to resolve social needs and problems. A just climate transition, one that really engages with and takes care of our communities, is going to require us to change the ways in which we work together and share resources. If guided by [...]

Fifty-three cities are taking aim at the systemic challenge of rapidly and drastically reducing their emissions, paving the way for a climate-proof future in European cities by joining the NetZeroCities Pilot Cities Programme. All of the selected cities have demonstrated their decarbonisation ambitions, as well as their plans to scale up their impact and create momentum locally and for other communities to reach climate neutrality. The Pilot Cities are located all across Europe. They represent twenty-one different European Union and Horizon 2020 Associated Countries and were chosen out of 103 applications involving 159 cities.

City Advisors: Connecting the Dots for the Climate Transition

Clea Prieto2023-10-30T12:18:17+01:00

Mission Cities are embarking on a remarkable journey to reach climate neutrality by 2030. But a growing group of Climate Neutral City Advisors are making sure that they aren’t doing so alone. As the key contact point for Mission Cities, Climate Neutral City Advisors are a central part of the process of co-designing local roadmaps to climate neutrality by 2030 through Climate City Contracts. Together the City Advisors represent a wealth of experience in working directly with cities, which will come in handy as they work to connect cities and advise them as they commit to, implement, and invest [...]
