SP 3 - SCC
The sustainable climate challenge
The Sustainable Climate Challenge (SCC) project aims to develop and use methods to involve citizens and inspire them to contribute to targets concerning energy efficiency, green house gas emission and renewable energy - commonly known as the EU targets 20-20-20.
The project will challenge different groups of citizens to become more climate smart with regard to their use of energy, transportation and other consumptions. By involving well known persons called "the Climate Idols" (with personal interest in developing the city/region to a climate smart city/region) to challenge or take part in actions SCC will hopefully make more impact on the selected group of citizens and also create more media interest.
The project will support the citizens with workshops and provide information on what to change and what kind of measure to adopt. Furthermore, SCC will provide possibilities to measure the achievements. Specifically, the project will support all citizens in their change of behaviour with workshops, seminars, meetings, action days and provide information via email, internet and flyers to help them to cut their CO2 emission by 20% and their energy consumption also by 20%.
The exchange of knowledge and experience and disseminate is an essential part of SCC. A guideline on good practices will be produced. The results will be distributed within the participating regions as well as to other European regions.
