Transition Team Playbook

Description of the resource: Accelerating a just transition towards climate neutrality cannot be achieved by any single organisation working in isolation - whether a city, a national government, or a company. A change of this scale and impact requires the commitment, drive, creativity and resources of a wide range of actors working together. Finding ways of bringing together diverse actors and stakeholders across all sectors of society to act is challenging. This playbook is a guide to develop a city’s ability to lead such a collective endeavour: to orchestrate a transition. It lays the principles of a Transition Team, the key ingredient in enabling transformative action from a coalition of actors for the clear goal of climate neutrality emissions by 2030. The playbook provides a range of possible models for this team, acknowledging the diversity needed to match city context, and it guides the reader through possible steps for setting up such a team, with insights on necessary skills and capabilities.
