REMARKABLE Climate Leaders Achieving 2050 Climate Neutrality

Project description

A network of Climate Leaders for carbon neutrality

The EU-funded REMARKABLE project will support local leaders in seven regions across Europe to translate strategic aspirations and policies into concrete measures towards carbon neutrality by 2050. The first step is for the project to set up a network of 320 Current and Emerging Climate Leaders by 2024. These leaders will help local authorities, communities and regions to transform their methods from energy efficiency and renewables to the strategic goal of climate neutrality. REMARKABLE will build new leadership capacity in 120 actors from seven countries through a Climate Leadership Programme, support the establishment of 60 roadmaps for Climate Leaders and develop a climate and energy check tool along with a climate neutrality roadmap guide.

Objective

REMARKABLE will support local leaders to deliver a step change in progress towards carbon neutrality by 2050 in 7 regions across Europe. REMARKABLE will establish, by 2024, a network of 320 Current and Emerging Climate Leaders who, through their actions and inspiration, will drive their municipalities, public authorities, communities and regions to transform their approaches from ones focused on energy efficiency/renewables to ones focused on the strategic goal of climate neutrality by 2050.

REMARKABLE will build new leadership capacity in 120 actors from 7 countries in Europe though a Climate Leadership Programme (CLP). The CLP will be inspired by ethnographic research and will be designed with and for leaders across public authorities. The REMARKABLE CLP will also facilitate the creation of 60 Roadmaps for public authorities aiming at Climate Neutrality by 2050. These Roadmaps will allow our Climate Leaders to translate strategic aspirations and policy ambitions into concrete and disruptive far reaching measures stimulating €300m investment by 2030. A Climate and Energy Check Tool will be developed and tested along with a Climate Neutrality Roadmap Guide.

The 7 Regional Energy Agencies involved in REMARKABLE will develop 14 new services to expand their roles as change agents in the Clean Energy Transition and Climate Neutrality challenges. Climate Neutrality Training, Climate One Stop Shops, Financing Solutions are targeted as potential services.

REMARKABLE will exploit its outcomes and results through the creation of an EU Climate Leaders Circle, reaching up to 320 members by 2024 including 30 from 7 Observer Regions/Countries. An innovative Climate Neutrality Challenge will be organised for Young Climate Leaders. The REMARKABLE Circle will create synergies with existing networks and initiatives e.g. COMO, ManagEnergy to support and enhance their impacts with the ambition of mobilising 10,000 stakeholders by 2030 (2,000 by 2024)
