Strengthening Municipal Climate Mitigation Through Innovative Analysis and Planning Tools
Ongoing project - open for funding
That's what it's all about
Every day, local authorities make decisions that directly impact citizens' energy consumption, mobility, environmental impact, and quality of life. They play an indispensable role in initiating sustainable change in areas such as urban planning, transportation, energy supply, waste management, green space design, equal living conditions, and public service security. Given their severely limited financial resources, it is crucial that the chosen measures are effective and efficient. But how can planners identify effective measures? How do measures in different sectors interact? The subject matter is highly complex, developments are dynamic, and decisions are difficult.
What we want to achieve
This is where a new tool being developed at KIT comes in. It is designed to enable municipal climate mitigation officers to assess the impact of selected measures on their municipality's specific situation and highlight interactions with other measures. This will create a significantly improved knowledge base on which more informed decisions can be made.
