The Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) was established to build mutual trust and confidence, allow comparability and ensure accountability…
• Publication 16 August 2021 A methodological framework to assess the gaps from national energy efficiency policies to local actions within a multilevel governance system The role of cities has recently gained attention in the global energy arena, for instance when a delegation of 25 cities pledged to become carbon neutral by 2050 during COP23. Scientific evidence shows that cities are essential partners to work with to achieve a sustainable energy transition, while organisations such as Covenant of Mayors, ICLEI and C40 are supporting the movement towards a larger inclusion of local institutions. Historically, local governments were considered policy-takers, as…
