The role of CapaCITIES ambassadors discussed during the 13th International Conference on Sustainable Development and Planning (WESSEX SDP 2024)

The role of CapaCITIES ambassadors as facilitators for the dissemination of national platforms and to support the engagement of national governments was introduced by Luigi Santopietro (CNR-IMAA) during the International Conference on Sustainable Development and Planning 2024 held in Seville (Spain) from 23 to 25 September.

This presentation contributed to the Special Session on ‘Energy-Climate Transition through Transnational Municipal Cooperation’, led by Monica Salvia and Filomena Pietrapertosa (CNR-IMAA), which allowed for the exchange of knowledge and good practices between academics, policy-makers, practitioners and other stakeholders from all over the world, in order to learn from each other’s experiences and be able to replicate these methods, tools, practices and initiatives in other territories.

A short paper on the experience of the CapaCITIES ambassadors will soon be published in an open access volume of the WIT Transactions on Ecology and the Environment.
