CommitClimate

In the project CommitClimate, cities develop, test and deploy a computer-based simulation model to create sustainable energy and climate action plans to reduce carbon footprint.
In the spotlight

We invite municipalities and other stakeholders to get involved in project activities:

• Stay updated on project news

• Receive an invitation to seminars, discussions, and other public events

• Try the simulation tools created in the project

• Share the experience of your municipality

In the Spotlight

Municipalities and cities are important drivers of decarbonizing energy systems. They are responsible for setting a strategic direction to increase energy efficiency, produce renewable energy, and reduce local greenhouse gas emissions. They are essential in mobilizing stakeholders and citizens to introduce energy solutions for climate neutrality. However, their potential often remains untapped due to such barriers as a lack of necessary skills and supportive tools. It is very difficult for municipalities to calculate and understand today's CO2 emissions and even more to understand different possible future scenarios.

This is where our project steps in as a beacon of hope and innovation. The CommitClimate project aims to increase the capacity of municipality staff and local stakeholders to deal with energy transition issues. The major practical outcome is a new computer-based simulation tool called CommitClimate Simulator for carbon footprint calculation and future scenario modeling. This tool isn’t just a piece of software. Developed through close collaboration with local authorities, the Simulator empowers municipal staff and stakeholders to master the intricacies of the energy transition.

So, how does it work? The CommitClimate Simulator allows users to input various data points to calculate current CO2 emissions and model future scenarios across major economic sectors. This modeling approach enables users to test various future scenarios from the comfort of their workplace, serving as a valuable tool for creating sustainable energy and climate action plans aimed at achieving climate neutrality in municipalities. The tool’s user-friendly interface ensures that even those without technical expertise can navigate and utilize its features effectively.

Our vision extends beyond just creating a tool. The CommitClimate Simulator is at the core of an interactive Online Platform, offering step-by-step explanations, comprehensive training materials, and a wealth of resources to support every municipality in its energy transition journey.
