Creating a strong coalition for change involving citizens in making a difference

The CoLAB Project aims to develop a strong political and civil commitment while applying the Climate City Contract process.

The project focuses on consumer-related emissions in the areas of electricity and heat consumption, mobility, food, and waste/disposal. It explores, through strategic experiments, how to engage citizens to take effective actions contributing to a 1.5 degree lifestyle.

The project enables the administrations of the three city partners to learn together from their experiences and share the resources provided by the partners of the consortium.
