Climate change has already reached us: the effects of global warming have been clearly noticeable in Münster for several years. Excessively hot, dry summers and heavy rainfall events are causing noticeable damage. Climate change is no longer an abstract threat; it is happening right here on our doorstep.

 

Man-made global warming is threatening the quality of life, prosperity and future prospects of people in Münster and around the world. The latest scientific findings and climate forecasts make clear that society today is living at the expense of future generations. We are nearing the point of no return, with melting ice in the Arctic, thawing permafrost in the Arctic Circle and the destruction of rainforests all imminent tipping points for global warming and the climate. It is highly likely that the changing climate will further damage the city’s economy and lead to social upheaval in Münster.

Committed to Local Climate Action Building - German cities pilot activity

How do you change the daily habits of an entire city? Three German cities formed a coalition to answer this question, recognising that consumption-based emissions —from food choices to mobility patterns to heating decisions—require far more than technical fixes. CoLAB created a shared framework called the "House of Change", combining physical transformation spaces, digital engagement tools, and new governance structures to make climate action visible, accessible, and social. Led by Mannheim, the project tested whether cities can shift behavioural norms at scale. The pilot involved Mannheim, Aachen and Münster. 

City-driven Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL)

This report examines how city-driven monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL) is being developed and used as a governance mechanism in six Mission-labelled cities: Stockholm, Zaragoza, Cork, Münster, Bergamo and Turin. The cases show that MEL is no longer functioning only as a technical reporting requirement or an accountability tool for external institutions. Instead, it is increasingly being used by cities to steer climate-neutrality transitions, connect emissions trajectories to implementation portfolios, inform investment and budgeting decisions, and support learning across municipal departments, stakeholders and partners. Together, the six cases show that city-driven MEL is emerging as an essential component of mission-oriented urban climate governance. Its value lies not only in measuring progress towards climate neutrality, but in helping cities organise learning, coordinate actors, prioritise actions, mobilise investment and adapt implementation pathways. For the wider Cities Mission, this points to the need for continued support to strengthen MEL capacities, improve access to high-quality and disaggregated data, develop proportionate methods for co-benefit and distributional indicators, and align local MEL systems with national and European governance frameworks. As cities move further into implementation, MEL will be increasingly important for understanding not only whether progress is being made, but how climate-neutrality transitions can be governed, adjusted and accelerated in practice.
