Tools & Capacity building
The overhaul of the energy system requires new ways of thinking and doing. Based on the experience of the network, Energy Cities designs and provides free tools and capacity-building opportunities for a broad range of challenges. The methods compiled and training courses offered aim to facilitate action on the ground. Public servants, elected officials and other locally-active energy transitioners may want to improve their individual or institutional skills to better contribute to a city's or community's energy and climate goals.
