LOCALISED Climate Action Strategiser

Create Together Your Path to an Adapted and Emission-free Future

Science-based tool providing regional/municipality-level emission reduction and adaptation pathways aligned with national long-term strategies. It is based on downscaled national decarbonisation trajectories, consistent with Europe’s net-zero target and can help in the establishment of Sustainable Energy and Climate Actions Plans (SECAPs) and the monitoring of related Sustainable Development Goals.

LOCALISED Net-Zero Business Consultant

Practical Guidelines for Effective Mitigation and Adaptation Options

The LOCALISED Net-Zero Business Consultant for local and regional businesses and business organisations is an interactive online tool designed to communicate with end-users from the business sector and provide them with insights into effective mitigation and adaptation options.
It translates the results of modeling and analysis of viable pathways into practical guidelines for business users.

LOCALISED Sustainable Business Model Canvas

A Tool to Map Sustainable Business Practices and Support Decarbonisation.

Helps organisations identify nine key parts of their business model (supplies & outsourcing, production, functional value, materials, end of life, distribution, use phase, environmental impact, environmental benefits). It also shares best practices in sectors such as manufacturing, agriculture, construction, and transport. Case studies show useful measures, financial incentives, and programs for investing in decarbonisation.

LOCALISED Citizen Engager

Citizen Engagement Toolbox for Climate Action and a Just Transition

The LOCALISED Citizen Engager is a toolbox and step-by-step guide to citizen engagement in the field of climate policy, that aims at enabling the co-creation of climate policies between citizens and local decision makers in a socially just way.

LOCALISED Data Sharing Platform

Granular Data for Decarbonisation Across Europe

The LOCALISED Data Sharing Platform (DSP) is a Pan-European database offering detailed national decarbonisation pathways, climate projections, climate impact assessments, and regional spatial characteristics. It provides data at a highly granular Local Administrative Units (LAU) level for all 27 European member states.

About LOCALISED

LOCALISED was a European-funded research project which developed end-user products and services for local and regional administration and their citizens as well as policy and business decision-makers in a co-design process by

  1. providing downscaled national decarbonisation trajectories, consistent with Europe’s net-zero target
  2. helping to upscale the definition and implementation of mitigation and adaptation measures at local level, the establishment of Sustainable Energy and Climate Actions Plans (SECAPs) and the monitoring of related Sustainable Development Goals.

The LOCALISED project targeted the NUTS-3 administrative level for all Europe, to help regions and their local administrations and businesses understand what options they have to identify and mitigate the impacts of climate change, and how these could be implemented, taking into account energy justice.

By doing so, the LOCALISED project contributed to achieving the goals of the European Green Deal on reducing its net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030 (compared to 1990 levels) in a fair way, leaving no one behind.

LOCALISED started on 1 October 2021 and ended on 30 September 2025.
