| Description | The Stakeholder Climate Neutrality Audit provides cities with a structured methodology for assessing the readiness, capacities, and commitment of stakeholders to contribute to Climate City Contracts and climate-neutrality objectives. The audit supports cities in identifying key actors, understanding their influence on emissions and investments, and evaluating their potential to support climate action implementation. It combines stakeholder mapping, screening, interviews, assessment, segmentation, and validation through participatory processes to ensure evidence-based decision-making and stronger stakeholder engagement. Particular attention is given to dimensions such as climate maturity, implementation capacity, investment potential, innovation capability, and collaboration readiness. The results enable cities to develop tailored engagement strategies, mobilise partnerships, and strengthen stakeholder ownership of the climate transition. Ultimately, the audit contributes to the creation of a robust governance framework and a long-term ecosystem supporting Climate City Contract implementation and climate neutrality ambitions. |
