What is transition management, and how can it support your city’s ambition to become just and climate-neutral?


Transition Management: A Process for Co-Creating Transformative Change is the second of three courses of Planning the Energy and Climate Transition for Cities, a free training programme that will provide you with the tools and knowledge to turn theory into action.

If the green transition needs citizens to be actively involved, transition management can help you engage them in participatory urban planning.
After this module, you will be able to design and implement your city’s roadmap with the support of various community stakeholders. In five short, engaging video lessons, you’ll explore:

  1. Transition thinking and systems change
  2. The experiences of different cities — from Brașov to Valencia — with the Transition Management Cycle
  3. Establishing Transition Teams and organising Transition Arenas
  4. Launching local transition experiments and coalitions
  5. Strengthening governance capacities for impact

Get inspired, engage with the activities and discussion space — your experience matters for the Europe of tomorrow.
