Based on research conducted within Viable Cities, the concepts of transition teams and transition arenas have been established as key elements to build increased collective capacity for transition.
All actors in a city need to be involved in the local climate transition. To ensure effectiveness and truly accelerate the transition, both in relation to the mission of climate-neutral cities and each other, they need to develop their ways of working. It is about understanding many different perspectives, being a boundary crosser who can collaborate and engage with many, and showing leadership in the gaps.
To the left, you'll find a brief introduction to the area, and below, Gabriella Doci guides us through the different parts of transition management.

Since 2019, Gabriella Doci, climate sociologist, has been working within and close to Viable Cities. She has followed and studied cities within the Climate Neutral Cities 2030 initiative and used various methods to gather insights about each step in the transition process.
Gabriella maps the local climate transition journey to identify and analyze key concepts, factors, actors and events that determine each phase of the process. She then translates this understanding into learning materials and capacity-building workshops for cities that can learn from the experiences of those at the forefront.
