Presentation Slides

'Impact Pathways' tell a story about how systemic transformation is expected to unfold. 'Indicators' are a measurable data point used to track a city's progress towards achieving climate neutrality. These indicators evaluate the effectiveness of urban sustainability initiatives, such as reductions in carbon emissions or increases in renewable energy usage.

Co-creating Impact Pathways and Indicators for your City's Climate-neutrality Transition

A 7-Step ProcessPresentation Slides

The Indicator Framework describes a set of indicators for monitoring the impact of Climate City Contracts (CCC) in terms of: 1) Required Indicators: Direct Benefits – Impact on GHG emissions. and 2) Recommended Indicators: Co Benefits/ Co Risks – Indirect impact.Required Indicators represent an integral part of the CCC process. In addition, cities are encouraged to make use of a selection of recommended indicators most applicable to their local climate neutrality target and related strategy. These are recommended to be selected based on the Impact Pathways described in cities’ CCCs, and mapped to specific actions. Cities are also welcome to add their own indicators as a support tool.Impacts described by the indicators are to be assessed on the city level and can be mostly calculated based on standardized data sets available in almost any European city. The indicators were selected from tried, tested, and vetted sources where appropriate and the set is the result of a collaborative process involving a variety of experts from the NetZeroCities consortium.Please note that a separate set of indicators specifically for the NetZeroCities Pilot Cities Programme is already available through the Proposal Refinement or Reporting templates provided to all Pilot Cities.The Indicator Framework is also accompanied by a guidance document The Indicator Framework is also available in spreadsheet format, including the following information for each indicator: Indicator; Title; Unit of Measurement; Required or Recommended; Definition; Source; Calculation Formula; Emission Scope for GHG related Indicator NetZeroCities Comprehensive Indicator Framework Spreadsheet

Scientific Publications

NetZeroCities

Scientific publication "What Cities Want to Measure: Bottom-Up Selection of Indicators for Systemic Change toward Climate Neutrality Aligned with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 40 European Cities". This scientific study, published on the journal "Climate" provides bottom-up evidence of NZC Pilot cities’ (cohort 1 and 2) selection of non-GHG indicators through different levers of change, including participatory governance and social innovation, for assessing progress and the co-benefits of actions toward climate neutrality taken at the urban level. The resulting list of indicators, classified according to the SDGs, provides evidence of cities’ priorities and can be utilised by cities’ climate transition teams and also by researchers, as it highlights gaps and opportunities compared to extant literature. https://netzerocities.app/file-a381c2c35c9157f6b67fd07d5a200ae1
