Climate Teams

Objectives

What the Climate Pact catalogue of measures says :

The climate teams are multidisciplinary, balanced in terms of gender and age, and focus on the systemic involvement of young people. The alderman responsible for climate ensures the link between the teams and elected representatives and municipal decision-makers. The State provides the services of 36 "climate advisers" who assist the municipalities. The climate team is responsible for cross-sectoral thinking on energy, climate and environmental issues.
Major financial decisions are checked by the climate team to ensure that they are compatible with the objectives set out in the guiding principles (1.1.1). The energy and climate concept and the ongoing Climate Pact process are regularly monitored by the climate team in coordination with other municipal bodies.

Impact

The climate team is a tool for citizen participation, enabling citizens to become locally involved in their local authority's climate and environmental policy.

By communicating the successes and benefits of climate protection and adaptation to all parties involved, the local authority aims to encourage imitation and broad participation. In the short, medium and long term, this should be reflected in the energy consumption and CO2 figures, as well as in the key figures for the production of renewable electricity. These do not just apply to municipal properties, but to the entire municipality, including private households, agriculture, businesses and service providers.
For this reason, local authority-wide assessments are drawn up to show the short-, medium- and long-term progress made by the local authority as a whole in terms of energy and climate protection.
