Governance of Urban Sustainability Transitions: Innovations in Climate Governance

The Finnish Environment Institute hosted an Innovations in Climate Governance (INOGOV) workshop on climate change policy and governance - initiation, experimentation and evaluation in Helsinki, Finland on 12-13 March 2015. Kes McCormick from the GUST team participated in the event and presented on urban living labs focusing on collaboration, networks and impacts.

About GUST

European cities face a pressing challenge – how to provide economic prosperity and social cohesion while achieving environmental sustainability? In response, new collaborations are emerging in the form of urban living labs – sites devised to design, test and learn from social and technical innovation in real time. Funded by JPI Urban Europe, the aim of the GUST project is to examine, inform and advance the governance of sustainability transitions through urban living labs, which are proliferating across Europe as a means for testing innovations in buildings, transport and energy systems. Despite the experimentation taking place on the ground, there is a lack of systematic learning across urban and national contexts.
