What was SCC about
The Sustainable Climate Challenge (SCC) project aimed 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 challenged 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 hopefully made more impact on the selected group of citizens and also created more media interest.
The project supported the citizens with workshops and provided information on what to change and what kind of measure to adopt. Furthermore, SCC provided possibilities to measure the achievements. Specifically, the project supported all citizens in their change of behaviour with workshops, seminars, meetings, action days and provided 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 dissemination are essential parts of SCC. A guideline on good practices has been produced. The results were be distributed within the participating regions as well as to other European regions.
