Community energy in Scotland

Speaking during a debate in the Scottish Parliament, Martin said: “To deliver a just transition we must continue to work with communities, businesses, industry and the people of Scotland to plan for a future where Scotland is a leader in low-emission systems and technologies with all the jobs and the reduction in the cost of living that can come from that.

Vienna binds its 2040 climate neutrality goal to a law | TheMayor.EU

European cities’ commitments to achieving climate neutrality even ahead of the overall EU horizon of 2050 is truly inspiring, but as time progresses it occasionally comes to light that the reality proves tougher than well-meaning objectives.

That’s why the Austrian capital, Vienna, has decided to add an extra layer of commitment by making its climate-neutrality goal a legal mandate with the recent adoption of the Vienna Climate Act.

AVIS de l'ADEME - La transition juste

AVIS de l'ADEME - La transition juste | Energy Transition in Europe | www.energy-cities.eu | Scoop.it
Il y a beaucoup plus à perdre qu'à gagner à l'inaction climatique en France et dans le monde. La notion de " transition juste ", inscrite au préambule de l'accord de Paris, ne dit pas autre chose. Il s'agit bien, en premier, de faire la transition car c'est un objectif d'intérêt général majeur, qui conditionne à terme, tous les autres.

La transition juste est une transition :
- qui accompagne la cessation ou la mutation des activités brunes et le développement des activités vertes …
- tout en tenant compte des vulnérabilités propres aux différentes composantes de nos sociétés et de nos économies.
- et qui soit élaborée le plus démocratiquement possible par l'ensemble des parties prenantes, dont les citoyens, les ONG, les syndicats, les entreprises et les collectivités, aux différentes échelles territoriales.

The COP28 text does not simply call for transitioning away from fossil fuels but rather stipulates that this transition must be “just, orderly, and equitable,” a much more challenging prospect.

“Leave no one behind” must be central to Europe’s climate resilience efforts | European Environment Agency's home page

Europe is warming up faster than any other continent and the most vulnerable people are bearing the brunt of climate impacts. A new report from the European Environment Agency (EEA), published today, shows that although the most vulnerable groups are disproportionately affected, they are often overlooked in climate adaptation planning and especially implementation.

For an Economy Rooted in Care and Regeneration 

For an Economy Rooted in Care and Regeneration  | Energy Transition in Europe | www.energy-cities.eu | Scoop.it
Through platforms like Good4Trust, a growing movement is demonstrating that solidarity, trust, and regeneration can replace profit and exploitation at the heart of economic life.

For listeners who might not be familiar with the term, what exactly is the prosumer economy?

The term “prosumer” is a portmanteau of “producer” and “consumer.” The idea is that nothing in nature is only a producer or only a consumer, everything is both. Humans, forests, fungi, economic entities, all are prosumers.

Blog by Yamina Saheb – Sufficiency: The Equity Imperative – Energy in Demand – Sustainable Energy – Rod Janssen | Energy Transition in Europe | www.energy-cities.eu | Scoop.it
Sufficiency has profound implications for public policy and societal values. Ensuring that everyone has access to high-quality housing, mobility, nutrition, leisure, education, healthcare, and other essential services directly fulfills the lower limit of the sufficiency corridors. Individuals deprived of these essential services are at risk of marginalization and are unlikely to lead fulfilling lives or participate fully in society.

Letter: Climate policies should not target those least able to cope | Financial Times | Energy Transition in Europe | www.energy-cities.eu | Scoop.it
A key element of “just transitions” to sustainability and climate resilience is ensuring that mitigation and adaptation measures do not adversely affect those least able to cope or afford to change their behaviour. Locally appropriate public policy interventions are required in each case to bridge such gaps and, in the words of the UN’s Agenda 2030, “leave no one behind”.
