Climate Leadership Programme
About this good practice
The two-day training is designed to build up local climate leadership in the context of the territory. Participants are trained in climate science, climate neutrality and a frugal approach towards creating measures for this. Stakeholder engagement, SWOT analyze, sector energy analyzes, and media training are part of the program. In the first stage politicians and chief executives are trained and in the second stage a wider rollout in the whole municipality can take place which are creating a common ground for a more frugal approach for the organization and a more focused work on energy transition and climate neutrality.
Resources needed
