The Urban Transition Mission Center (UTMC) is excited to invite you to the fourth session of our peer exchange series designed to explore innovative pathways toward urban transition. These exchanges aim to foster collaboration, share best practices, and catalyse the transition to sustainable and resilient cities via a detailed analysis of selected urban transition methodologies and pathways. The methodologies analysed during the exchanges should fulfil the following criteria:
- Applicable: identified methodologies should be applicable by cities and local governments for planning or implementation purposes
- Replicable: the methodology, or part of it, should have replication potential to be used outside of its original context, by municipalities at a global level
- Systemic: address climate neutrality and net-zero transition in a systemic/holistic way, including co-benefits of climate action, resilience and social aspects
- Additional: it should provide added value even to cities which are well advanced in their pathways towards net-zero.
This session will explore strategies and policy tools to tackle energy poverty, a global critical issue affecting millions of households and contributing to severe social and economic challenges. While financial support is essential, there is increasing recognition of the importance of behavioural and socially rooted approaches to address the issue holistically.
Cities play a pivotal role in combating energy poverty by implementing innovative strategies that ensure access to affordable, decarbonised housing. These efforts are central to achieving climate neutrality and advancing a just and inclusive transition. Participants will hear about local best practices that bridge social equity and climate action, aligned with the EU Green Deal and Renovation Wave.
Building on insights from the cities of Dresden, Greater Manchester, Vantaa and Klagenfurt, participants will gain valuable strategies and engage in an interactive session to share knowledge and experiences.
