Researchers from the University of Twente travelled to Istanbul to present their latest findings at the Association of European Schools of Planning (AESOP) Conference. Their work focuses on the feasibility of climate actions, conducted under the umbrella of the LOCALISED Project.
In the special session “Governing the ‘Carbon Neutral City’: Barriers and Enablers for an Integrated Climate Governance in Cities”, Gerard Martínez Görbig introduced key outputs of the LOCALISED Project and presented new insights into the socioeconomic and spatial factors that support the implementation of just and inclusive climate action. This work – Exploring the Feasibility of Climate Actions: What Guides Adaptation Implementation in Europe? – was developed in collaboration with Diana Reckien, Johannes Flacke, Richard Sliuzas (University of Twente), and Aldo Treville from the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre.
The session, organised by Eloïse Deshayes (Universitat Internacional de Catalunya) and Eda Yücesoy (Istanbul Technical University), also featured presentations by Eloïse Deshayes – Accounting Beyond Boundaries: Exploring Consumption-Based Carbon Approaches in Paris and Gothenburg – and Will Brown (University of Cambridge) – Urban Carbon Emission Data. Together, the three talks provided valuable perspectives on how cities can progress toward carbon neutrality and the tools and data that can support this transition.
The session concluded with an engaging discussion between presenters and the audience, highlighting the critical role of emissions data and information tools in achieving local climate neutrality and building urban resilience.
