This document should be considered part of a package of Dossiers (and Annex) assessing existing pathways towards climate neutrality in order to pursue the objectives of the 100% Renewables Cities and Regions Roadmap project, as well as support Local Governments (LG) wanting to set a 100% Renewable energy target. The specific context of the deep-dive cities and regions supported by the project are considered in this report, where strategic considerations and suggestions can be found for each of them.
The local governments (LGs) participating in the project come from a variety of contexts and have different experiences on climate mitigation or adaptation policies and renewable energy roll-out. Though, they all have big potential to reach the entire coverage of their energy needs through renewable energy. Horizontal and vertical collaboration play a big role in the process: connecting with other LGs support mutual learning with different, but similar experiences in the same region or abroad. Moreover, joining forces with other levels of government increases the opportunities for higher ambition and it enables the creation of the best policy environment, to reach with success the climate objective for the entire community and country.
After an overview on each country and LG, aimed at framing the context, specific indications and suggestions are given for each of the nine deep-dive administrations, considering the local potential for renewable energy roll-out and the need of creating synergy with other LG objectives.
