This Playbook draws together the methodologies co-designed and developed by NetZeroCities Climate Neutral Cities Advisors, with wider support from specialists under NetZeroCities Platform to help cities navigate their journey towards climate neutrality.

By using the Playbook, cities will be able to better:

• Align city teams towards a common goal for climate neutrality;
• Enable city teams to navigate the core concepts and tools of NetZeroCities and the broader Mission for 100 Smart and Climate Neutral Cities by 2030;
• Help city teams to identify existing gaps, opportunities and synergies in their existing climate plans with the broader activity within the city;
• Focus effort of city teams in their work with wider stakeholders and partners across the city in a climate alliance for climate neutrality;
• Help cities to engage with the innovative climate governance tools of the climate city contract (including the commitments document, the action plan and the investment plan).

This Playbook complements and supports the use of other tools, resources and processes being deployed within the NetZeroCities consortium.

This Playbook is dedicated to the cities that are journeying to climate neutrality – wherever you are!
