Is your city ready to tackle green transition challenges?

Do you have all the tools and the knowledge needed to become more resilient?

Working closely with cities every day, at Energy Cities, we understand your learning needs, the capacity gaps and the huge potential that lies in local governments. Over the past 35 years, through hands-on experience, we’ve developed deep expertise in capacity-building — from peer-to-peer exchanges and study visits to in-person training, webinars, workshops, and, more recently, e-learning.

It was time for our commitment to empowering cities to go the extra mile. This is why we have created the Local Transitions Learning Centre: Empowering leaders. Connecting communities. Future-proofing cities.

Preparing local authorities for the green transition

The Local Transitions Learning Centre is an open-access platform offering free courses designed to help our members and partners tackle urgent urban challenges related to the energy and climate crises. We want to connect peers and experts, to share useful tools, knowledge and practical experience.

Our learning offer is designed with cities, for cities. Grounded in knowledge generated in real projects and initiatives, we offer you a rich experience mixing active and passive learning methods to meet your preferences. This includes:

  • Online, self-paced, and live courses
  • Information about upcoming in-person workshops and summer/winter schools.

Our e-learning opportunities are structured into four clusters, aligned with our HUBs, addressing strategic issues of energy and climate transitions: governance, fossil-free districts, community energy, and resource-wise economies.

We believe a just green transition can only succeed if communities are connected, learning from each other, and testing new methodologies and tools. While Energy Cities’ members have priority access, our learning offer is open to everyone, whether you’re an elected representative, municipal officer, or working in a municipal energy or climate-related agency, consultancy, or network.




Let’s shape future-proof cities together!

The Local Transitions Learning Centre is the go-to space for local governments and partners who:

  • Want to accelerate the green transition
  • Need a strategy or tool to overcome challenges
  • Seek peer-to-peer exchange with experts and practitioners.

Our learning offer will be continuously enriched to meet the evolving needs of cities.
