Descripción del proyecto
Herramienta web de modelización prospectiva para lograr la neutralidad climática
Muchas ciudades europeas se han comprometido a alcanzar la neutralidad climática de aquí a 2050 o antes. Sin embargo, apenas algunas de ellas han conseguido desarrollar y aplicar estrategias con rutas de descarbonización tangibles. En consecuencia, las ciudades necesitan herramientas, información y habilidades para efectuar la transición hacia la neutralidad climática. El proyecto EUCITYCALC, financiado con fondos europeos, ayudará a las autoridades públicas a planificar el camino hacia la neutralidad climática con el método de modelización prospectiva de código abierto que ofrece la herramienta web European City Calculator (ECC). ECC proporcionará a las ciudades un punto de vista sectorial acerca del tipo y la aspiración de las medidas personalizadas y los escenarios políticos que deben adoptarse. El proyecto prestará apoyo a diez ciudades piloto de la Unión Europea a través de aprendizaje de igual a igual, un programa polifacético de formación y desarrollo de capacidades, y la implicación de las partes interesadas locales.
Objetivo
In order for Europe’s transition towards climate neutrality to succeed, cities need to be in the driving seat. European cities are at the forefront in addressing climate change, with many having committed to develop and implement SEAPs/SECAPs through initiatives such as the Covenant of Mayors. Many cities have also committed to become climate-neutral by 2050 or even earlier. Yet, despite ambitious short- and long-term commitments, only few cities have managed to translate plans into concrete implementation strategies with tangible decarbonisation pathways. In transitioning towards climate neutrality, cities have to overcome complex challenges that cannot be tackled with a business-as-usual approach. For this, cities need to be equipped with tools, information and skills that empower them to become local transition leaders.
This is where EUCityCalc comes into play. Its objective is to support public authorities in planning towards climate neutrality through the prospective modelling approach of the European City Calculator webtool. The European City Calculator is an open-source, prospective modelling tool providing cities with a sectoral outlook on the type and ambition of measures they can take to achieve a transition towards climate neutrality. As a flexible model adapted to territorial specificities and reflecting the city governance, it supports cities in designing tailored transition pathways and policy scenarios.
With the webtool at its core, EUCityCalc will support 10 pilot cities - Riga, Dijon Métropole, Mantova, Zdar, Palmela, Sesimbra, Setubal, Koprivnica, Varazdin, Virovitica - in developing and implementing scientifically robust, detailed and integrated pathways and scenarios towards climate neutrality. Through peer-to-peer learning, a multifaceted capacity-building and training programme and the engagement of local stakeholders in expert working groups, EUCityCalc will empower cities in devising a clear and concrete roadmap towards climate neutrality.
