Social Innovation Actionable Pathways interactive tool

This interactive visual aims to support public administrations and policymakers in creating favorable ecosystems of social innovation for sustainability in cities, based on case studies, Mission Cities plans, indicators and scientific literature.

The framework has 10 phases: (1) Public administration capacity building in social innovation for climate neutrality; (2) Social Innovation task force and strategy making (3) Funding for Social Innovation initiatives; (4) Citizens' capacity building; (5) City Social Innovation mapping; (6) Co-creation platforms and environments; (7) Social innovation policies; (8) Incubating and accelerating social innovations, (9) Co-creation and cross-sector partnerships, and (10) Systemic innovation approaches to climate neutrality which include social innovation.

For each phase, cases, indicators and scientific literature references are provided in the interactive map. The green dots represent links to social innovation activities of Mission Cities pilot projects.

For an extended explanation of each phase, see:
