The Municipality of Thessaloniki recognises the global challenges and the role of cities to act proactively to mitigate the impacts of the climate crisis and implement strong approaches to address current and future challenges.

 

The city’s main challenge is to rapidly adapt sustainable systemic changes including redesigning and delivering urban infrastructures and services that enhance citizen’s participation, connectivity and community, shape a thriving and sustainable city, build a dynamic urban economy, become responsive and support climate resilience and disaster management. Tremendous opportunities for the city to be improved, advanced, and maintain its contribution to the goals of sustainable development lie also in the utilization of big data computing and the underpinning technologies, and in the implementation of their novel applications

Climate-neutral district guided by just transition principles - Thessaloniki pilot activity

This pilot project develops a Local Green Deal framework through participatory mechanisms implementing (1) four mobility pillars (green routes, park-and-ride, smart urban logistics, and a mobility data space), (2) integrated local renewable energy production and nature-based solutions, and (3) a just transition roadmap ensuring equitable benefits for the area's diverse communities. Year 1 laid strategic and technical foundations across all workstreams. Stakeholder and community mapping was completed for the pilot area, multimodal mobility plans were developed for all four pillars, and an initial masterplan focusing on renewable energy sources (RES) and nature-based solutions was designed. An analysis of 35 European Climate City Contracts and a social mapping exercise identified key vulnerabilities and opportunities to inform the renovation master plan and just transition roadmap.
