Stavanger and Trondheim are leveraging their experience in citizen engagement and cross-sector collaboration to co-create a new governance model for climate neutrality. While both cities are active in the EU Mission, fragmented structures and institutional inertia pose challenges. This project will develop a science-based, stakeholder-driven framework for governance, including portfolio pilots and national learning loops, to make climate governance more inclusive, responsive, and replicable across Europe.

Objectives:

• Co-create science-based governance models together with the University of Stavanger and DOGA
• Pilot just transition portfolios in each city
• Engage communities and businesses in decision-making
• Build skills and capacity for systemic transformation
• Share knowledge through national and EU channels
