CLIMATE COMPASS - The Project
 |
 |
The main goal of CLIMATE COMPASS is to offer a methodology for local authorities to work out an immediate climate policy action programme in a very short time. These ad-hoc programmes shall build on existing experience and activities, and shall be embedded in a comprehensive climate policy strategy addressing the energy and transport sectors, and other areas relevant for greenhouse gas reduction policies. The project shall develop this methodology and introduce its broader application through the training of promoters who will use the CLIMATE COMPASS method to work with local authorities. It builds on the large experience and already established tools and methods by the Climate Alliance and other networks and experts.
The methodology will be suited to offer a comprehensive and strategic framework to tackle the relevant sectors in local climate change policy, and to initiate and guide a process of developing and implementing climate change related policies and measures.
- Thereby, the project will
contribute to climate change policy and mitigate urban impact on the global climate, in particular lead to sustainable energy and transport policies - strengthen institutional capacity in local authorities to address climate protection in a comprehensive and strategical way
- inform, activate and support local actors
- build capacity and expertise on strategic approaches to local climate change policy within institutions and experts that offer advice to local authorities
- contribute to community sustainability and enhance community liveability
