So hello everyone my name is Diana kper program officer at GJ Hungary office and I would like to welcome everyone to today’s session on Research policy interface to upscale multi-level climate action hosted at the global green growth Institute today’s event is part of the global green growth week GG’s annual
Global conference designed to promote knowledge sharing on the green growth agenda before we start some housekeeping information the session is being recorded and the recordings will be available on G Global greenr Creek’s website also please feel free to leave your questions or comments in the Q&A
Board or chat room and we will try to answer them there during the session and if we have some time left after the presentation we will address these questions each let’s start today’s session bridging research and policymaking fosters a collaborative and informed approach to tackling complex challenges of climate change the session
We present and discuss impactful projects on Research policy interface that aim to introduce climate Solutions and actions that can be replicated and upscaled to kick off our session I would like to invite Mr Gabor Santo for his opening remarks who is the head of climate Policy Department at the
Hungarian energy Ministry the department is responsible for National policy development and international work in the field of climate change Mr Santo the floor is yours thank you distinguish guest ladies and gentlemen uh let me start with expressing our gratitude to the global Green Grow Institution for organizing this event in
The framework of the global green growth week uh 2023 um I’m convinced that this week’s H we conference offers an exceptional opportunity for everyone to gain useful insights on various fields of green policies and solutions focusing on the topics of uh natural Capital uh green economic opportunities efficient and sustainable
Resource use and social inclusion as well um climate change affects the life of all of us the impacts are unprecedented and sometimes extremes as well science reiterate that we underestimate the impact of climate change on humanity and we had no time to spare the longer we wait the greater the
Price we pay nowadays it is more than a bill which wasn’t a situation a decade or a few decades ago that without taking drastic actions today adapting to these impacts will be more difficult and costly what is more important that without International cooperation mitigating the effects of climate change
And taking effective adaptation measures cannot lead to success the International Community has to support developing countries especially focusing on the ones that are particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change assisting them assisting them with technology knowledge and finan of resources are the key to the achievement
Of the global ambition of keeping global warming at maximum of one and a half degrees celius science and re research have to pay a central and decisive role when we are planning climate change mitigation adaptation measures every measure taken should be based on reliable research results taking into account the what science
Says Hungary has been strongly committed to tackle climate change both National and international level as a member state of the European Union in the upcoming decades we are about to implement one of the most ambitious climate policies in the world the government has set strong strategic
Goals in line with the eu-wide target of reaching climate neutrality by 2015 and the aim under the Paris agreement is to limit Global temperature rise um at the national level Hungary has set the greenhouse gas emission reduction targets of at least uh 40% by 2013 uh compared to uh 1990 uh why it
Has committed itself to becoming climate neutal by uh 2015 allow me to use this occasion to highlight that in our national energy and climate plan we are planning to increase this target to 50% Hungary has laid down these targets not only at the Strategic level but it was among the
First member states in the EU that have enshrined National emission reduction Targets in low let me also share with you uh the preliminary emission data released during the summer which shows us our grow domestic uh greenhouse gas emission in last year which were approximately uh 27% below the levels of
1990 Hungary is also one of the few countries in the world where GDP has grown since uh 1990 why greenhouse gas emission has fall our greenhouse gas intensity improved with 27% in the last decade uh besides Hungary is committed to contribute to the green uh transition of other countries for example focusing
On the western Balkans which reason has a great importance for us um in addition to this in February 2020 prime minister announced the climate uh and natural action plan which foresees eight concrete measures in line with the main objective of the Hungarian integrated energy and climate policy to
Meet our uh 2013 climate protection targets to preserve Hungary and the carpan basin for the Next Generation among the main points are The Greening of the remaining Co power plant which is currently one of the biggest uh greenhouse gas emitter in Hungary learning free for every newborn a
Significant increase of our solar power capacity promoting of Electric Mobility and introduction and issuance of the public green bounds which has been happening regularly in Hungary GGI is one of the key entities of international cooperation to globally support the green transition Hungary has been committed member of the gggi for
Several years now and we are particularly pleased that the first European office was opened in Budapest in um 2019 we believe that to be part of such a dynamically growing and ambitious organization brings benefits not only for its member states but for all countries of our planet gggi contributed
To very important projects in Hungary whose output has been essential um in the success of our climate policy so please keep up the good work in closing and thanking you for your attention let me leave you with the words of molier as he said the greater the obstacle the
More glory in overcoming it I have every hope that the following session will provide valuable knowledge on how to tackle complex challenges of climate change introducing uh different research policy initiatives and projects so thank you again thank you Gabor for introducing us Into hunger’s Climate Ambitions and and
Policies and thank you for the kind words about gji our first presenter will be Miss kaarina papao who will present energate project to us miss papao is a senior research associate and project manager at the energy policy unit of the decision support laboratory at the National Technical University of Athens
She has several years of experience and involvement in research and consultancy projects both in the European and National levels in the fields of Energy Efficiency Renewables and sustainable development the national Technic University of ethens is our key partner in the energate project the screen is yours miss papa poolu
Hello everyone good morning and good evening uh what is applicable to to you uh thank you for for uh um inviting uh me and the energate project in in this event uh as Diana said we are in close collaboration with dddi in thegate project and we are very happy for this
So let me share my screen uh okay I hope now that you can see my screen right okay uh so uh as I already said I’m going to to to present you uh the project that uh National Technical University of BFF and me personally are coordinating then you get project that
Aims to facilitate the creation of an Energy Efficiency uh Marketplace so um some background notes that you that you all know that set the problem is that as you know Energy Efficiency is one of the main uh priorities of the European Union’s energy and climate uh policy uh
But building renovation uh needs to be upscaled in order to to reach the target there are many funding schemes that have been created for supporting Energy Efficiency renovations but still there are many barriers to to be tackled so we have identified with within our project that there is a need
For a platform that could bring together uh on the one hand Energy Services and on the other hand sustainable financing in order to accelerate uh these renovation rates and promote Energy Efficiency investments in um in buildings now uh who we are we the energate project uh that uh is uh in a
Sense Smart Energy Market place for sustainable Investments uh the project uh uh started in January 2023 and will finish in June 2025 um thegate Marketplace will be is is under development and will be a nice de based um platform which on the one hand aims to mobilize and accelerate the
Creation of Energy Efficiency credible project pipeline while on the other hand uh aims to facilitate the Financial closure and project implementation by offering uh standardization risk mitigation and appropriate packaging of um of Investments uh so we we’re a Consortium of 13 Partners from eight countries uh D included perfectly balanced as you can
See in terms of company types of expertise role in the value chain Etc uh so uh we involve organization with complimentary expertise from research and interested in industrial area in order to to deliver uh commercial exploitation of of our results which is very important because we’re talking about a
Marketplace uh so our objectives um ingate aims mainly to integrate into a single um I based uh enable solution different stages of the building Energy Efficiency project uh cycle uh by enabling and implementing um large standardized project development facility in which Energy Efficiency project sponsor and projector or private
Or public uh entity uh entities may be able to to announce their projects in a structured manner uh that takes into account standardization of information and eligibility of course of different financing tools so we provide an aggregation due diligence and cash flow enhancement processes where projects and measures should be packaged and enhanced
Appropriately in order then to be offered to the financiers um in addition we provide also appropriate feedback loops that would measure the impact of course of of the platform uh and last but uh not least we we aim to to uh enabling business matchmaking quality assessments and uh
Profile uh ratings uh and generally facilitate um uh the data and information exchange which is key for uh for us so we have two two main target groups as you can see pylon a as we say and pylon B pylon a has to do with the
One um side with the the supply side building owners that have buildings that need to to to be financed um and implemented and implementers such as project developers esos energy Consultants that uh of course need to to promote their attractive proposals and the other side is pyom B financiers private financing bodies public
Financing bodies investors uh Etc that uh would like to invest into Energy Efficiency projects and buildings so uh in the initial stage of the project that we are now we have identified uh several use cases initial use use cases and we have drafted our um our first let’s say uh user interface uh
Where building owners can search for implementors uh Implement implementors can search for financiers and of course building owners can search for uh implementors in order to to provide attractive uh projects and um offers to to financers that would like to to invest their money in buildings in building
Renovations uh so as far as our uh implementation stages and methodologies and processes are concerned we have divided our processes in four stages the zero stage as we say which is mainly the creation of the profiles of the users within the platform the FED states where we collect the project related data uh
In terms of building data of financial kpis Energy Efficiency um consumptions and all this that has to do with the building itself uh the process stage which is the core stage of the platform which Aggregates projects based on specific filters that identify similarities among projects in order to
Be to be uh packaged and uh offered as um as a unique project to the financiers and the matchmaking uh of them with the appropriate financing and of course the final stage which is the deliver stage the followup on the realized projects uh here you can see uh our uh first user
Interface um in order to to use uh this for our stakeholder consultations for Gathering input and feedback to uh to to get us uh better um prepared and uh gather all the Insight that we need from the market perspective in order to to update the the platform functionalities
Uh so as you can see you can create your profile you can see the mats projects uh if you’re a finance here you can add your building and see uh an offer that has been done for your building from the from the other side from the demand
Side uh and we’re also uh in the process of developing the the backend and all these process that need to to be functional um of course uh we cannot have a platform uh offered if we have not validated and tested it so uh the enate financeable uh financeable
Packages and solutions will be studed through five different pilot Partners who already have already provided data and information from Energy Efficiency projects in six different uh European Union countries Greece Italy lva Austria France and Spain as you can see uh we have a pilots from representatives from
Both demand uh side esos uh public funds Etc and supply side energy Consultants smmes Etc and in the graph you can see how they’re related with the different um processes of stages of our platform uh and here um our our uh expected impact our targets what we need
To to to do what we need to reach after this um this centergate trip uh and by June 2025 uh we’re aiming to have more than 180 buildings with Energy Efficiency Investments uh up to 132 final Energy consump savings and of course uh more than 300 million years triggered um uh
By the the marketplace uh so if you would like to explore our results or to to be involved in ingate give us feedback and uh and learn from from what we are going to to offer please uh navigate through our website and uh our material that we have
Uh produced um and of course if you would like to to give us your your input your valuable feedback just scan this C code and uh allocate no more than five minutes in order to to give us some answer is some key questions that we have about the platform planning and
Design uh so here’s again the C code Thank you very much I try to be as brief as possible um thank you kaarina so much for your presentation about energate thank you thank you next uh Mr Lorenzo cheleri will give a presentation about another EU funed project GGI is involved
In focusing on Urban sustainability Mr Cheri is the director of chair of the urban resilience research Network and an associate professor at University International the catalunia where he’s also the director of the international master in City resilience design and management his research and Consulting activities address Urban resilience with an
Emphasis on decentralized and people centered approaches linking sustainability spatial Justice and resilience Mr cheleri is leading the updating part of the up 2030 project looking into City needs and barriers so let’s hear more about the up 2030 project here I am Diana um thanks for the opportunity of presenting this
Project um it’s not as sharp as the previous one um but it’s actually a big messy one and here you have if you can see my screen some basic data so this is a project bringing together almost 50 Partners uh so huge Consortium and 11 Millions uh Euro funding from EU linked
To the of course linked to the mission carbon neutral cities and smart cities uh and dealing with the planning and design and this is why is uh quite challenging but um it’s key characteristic is actually try to translate Research into policies planning and also design guidelines let me show you briefly how
We thought we could do that and then I will briefly show you how we actually do it and the challeng in in facing such a big Consortium so we working directly with 11 cities eight European big cities as you can see Milan ran zagre thalon um two cities from associate
Countries Istanbul best and one city uh from Latin America so as you can see a wide diversity of cities uh through which we are trying to propose uh new models and tools for Implement these new models of urban planning and design so of course uh we have multiple
Objectives but uh among these multiple objectives the key ones are of course engaging the citizen the stakeholder so one of those is participatory planning of course so it’s how we work uh we need to develop with the city and in a participatory way some road maps and implementation strategy for the
Solutions we we provide um the focus is of course on small scale prototyping and studying methods for upscaling um and of course we’re sharing lessons etc etc but with the think is key of these projects and here I’m open to debate questions about our perception so we have different of course labels
For cities different models of cities different missions uh and within this slogan and and program about supporting the resilience building the carbon neutral Solutions the Justice all these different agendas is really really difficult uh to find best practice and mindstream understanding about how to bring this three dimension together in
City Planning so we see many more than a decade of many evidences of potential maladaptations bad practices uh tradeoffs among risk climate gentrification happening and the same for carbon neutral sustainability a lot of green washing a lot of displacement related to the big um Greening intervention in cities uh a
Strong call for justice even in Europe uh within the ble the green deals a huge call for please align through the Justice lens all our adaptation and mitigation uh strategies so this is our main uh challenge try to work acting or finding the tools that can act as a filter
Uh for the policies for the projects and try to build some consistent road map for implementing just and resilient carbon neutral Solutions um well we have a core uh principles uh pack of principles that we’re still developing the project I’m presented is quite new um it’s it’s
Still in our first year so we’re in the phase of uh of course izing the cities and uh building a strong framework link with a benchmarking system about how in different stages this benchmarking against of the state-ofthe-art is orientating goals then is filtering the potential action and adaptive Pathways
And then the project will develop tools to actually uh support the prototyping and upscaling uh and let me expand a bit on that so how we work and this is probably um the the key point of the projects would make it a bit different from many other European project I’ve seen instead
Of just doing some research and development specific and having many working packages uh we’ve tried to align the W European project to a planning cycle meaning that the project along the three years is starting many many partners everybody starting to just understand which are uh the needs in the city of
Updat what I mean by that which are in every city the needs of updating the skills updating planning codes updating you know the behaviors and understanding respect to how to um how to lead Urban Transformations and then we start to we move forward and based on these updating needs that we
Perceived and and and we get through workshops uh we try to provide a first um uh capacity building learning schemes um and and let’s say a tutorship program to upskilling the practitioners the stakeholders aligning knowledge and this is really key when you want to align Justice and carbon neutrality and
And and resilience right so engineering speaking the the engagement and and redistributional Justice policy uh of some political scientists so this is a really needed much needed work to do within the cities the upskilling and the next step once we’re all aligned in term of understanding resources and
Capacities then we start to prototyping and upgrade something this is where we have 17 technological partners uh we have um a range of 43 different solutions and has many different expertise to to pack um tools and guidelines for the city to implement at slow small scale of course um this this
Prototyping of the solution and as you may imagine then of course along the planning cycle uh we’re working through labs and involving state holders and Citizen and try to understand which are the mechanism for upscaling so this the the GGI and and others role I clay and many um other partners working
Especially uh through these upscaling models City to City learning um myself we’re developing in the urban climate change research network uh the European Hub is in in charge of developing guidelines courses is training uh for not only upscaling a specific solution from the district to the city scale but also uh widening the
Scope and the Outreach of what we um what we tested in our city and of course the uptake which is another way of saying broadening the dissemination right of our results so this is a bit our our main um our main goal I would say even if it is a process what I’ve
Just described uh it’s also a goal so start to think uh of a Consortium like uh one big family of consultant of technical partners of political scientist of planner designer all together trying to align our expertise through the planning cycle of very different cities uh of course main expected
Outcome uh at it’s big project 11 million almost 50 Partners I I have to really reduce to the very minimum uh the family of the outcome so there will be many different implementations uh in 11 neighborhoods uh of course many guidelines and different guidelines technical legal policy governance of course guidelines
About upscaling the tools implementation and another family of solutions uh also really key I would say is setting up training programs in a service platform where you can find either the the solutions or and uh the courses online courses a variety of online courses uh addressing the the technical
Aspects about how to use specific tools but also courses about how to set up uh Workshop a consultancy uh this consultancy like process in cities and replicate and so this is how we we think that within this project we can a bit uh try at least to bridge all the
Scientific knowledge and Technical knowledge um into actionable adaptive pathway that the cities can understand learn how to frame and try to implement and this is it in an nutal I didn’t want to expand too much because the project is very complex many partners many perspective but I think
That the key message here was this mission of working through the Adaptive and planning cycles and aligned our expertise to the um design and planning uh challenging of aligning this very different sometimes dimension of adaptation mitigation and Justice um available for question or any F the detail even without a QR code
Really liked your Karina but yeah I’m available here at this mail thank you thank you thank you Loren so much for introducing us into our 2030 project to stay along the lines of urban sustainability I would like to invite now Nicholas effenberger to give his presentation in the topic of
Replicability of smart city solutions Mr effenberger is a research associate in the urban systems design Department of fros frare Institute who is also a partner in the up 2030 project he focuses on transformation of cities towards livable and ecologically responsible spaces currently serves as a replication manager in a spar in the
Sparks project which explores sustainable energy solutions for communities in seven European cities we will hear more about the Sparks project projects replication strategy and learnings about replicability from another European smart cities initiative Mr effenberger the screen is yours yeah thank you so much Tiana for this uh warm introduction and um also
Gore for um the inspirational U yeah beginning words to this session and also to mention my previous speakers for the interesting presentations I will now continue with my presentation with the title from Pilot to practice replication in the European Smart City research Community now I will I will mainly draw
Up from uh insights uh from the Project Sparks I was involved in and we as institution were involved in Sparks is short for sustainable energy positive and zero carbon communities um so and the the the focus is uh on this sustainable energy side so on so-called positive energy districts
Heads in in short so basically districts that produce more energy than they consume now in the project we we have two ligh houses namely liik in Germany and ESO in Finland you see uh in in red um on on the left hand side on the map then those lighthouses are followed by
Five uh other cities named reik in Iceland Maya in Portugal kisia in Greece um right next to you uh Karina PLO in the Czech Republic and leiv in Ukraine now I there’s a quick recap on what lighthouses are and what Fellers follower cities are uh so uh the lighthouses they already had projects
Under way and they finished them with within the project and so they aim for mainly for upscale so finishing the projects and upscaling uh planning the upscaling in other districts of of the city um now the follow follower cities uh they started and their interventions within project Lifetime and here Focus
Was on replicating from the ligh houses learning from the lighthouses uh a very quick overview on the lighthouse cities and what they focused on which topics so liik was mainly in solar and solar thermal energy they developed a smart grid they worked on bidirectional charging and e-mobility uh they created
A virtual positive energy energy district and a virtual power plant plant then they equipped um a social housing district with smart meters and in this District they engaged in in citizen engagement and then they created several Mobility hubs now espo in Finland they um as well had renewable
Heat and renewable District heating um approach approaches uh here they included geothermal energy Geo geothermal yeah geothermal energy they also developed a virtual power plant they implemented European’s largest battery storage uh and worked also on emobility um developed smart planning approaches and also Mobility hubs uh so
This is a brief overview um of really the numerous activities happening in the lighthouses now we come to the follower cities and as I said Focus here was on replication so learning from the lighthouses and developing own projects and everything I will present to you on this slide uh was
Developed within the project from so to say from a toz so starting from the idea now and now basically being in Market consultation and bringing projects on the ground uh we start with quno in Czech Republic they worked on uh solar solar energy on public buildings on immobility and
Charging um Maya in Portugal they had building integrated PV uh and developed a demonstrator in and on the facade of their City Hall then they developed a um data platform uh to to uh yeah connect all energy um related activities within their city now reik they worked on a on a new
Mobility Hub in in the city center and on a green housing project um keia in Greece uh they are under way developing a energy community and censoring um equipping their city with with Smart City censors and a bike sharing platform and last but not least Le in Ukraine they mainly worked on planning
Namely a spatial energy plan in mang energy consumption and production and um connecting this to a sustainable Mobility plan with electric charging so you see um these these ideas and these projects developed within the project within let’s say the overall project of Sparks are very very diverse we see uh
Let’s say direct replications of ideas from the lighthouses for example with with the PD on public buildings in cloudo and we but we also see and I want to draw your attention on this uh new uh newly developed ideas that are not direct that are not a direct replication of what has
Been happening what has been going on in the lighthouses namely for example the greenh housing in reab or the energy community in kisia now this is all and this is all about replication we we we can definitely say replication was highly successful within the project now the there there was as
Said a direct replication of some approaches while there were new newly I ideas generated in others now the question is how did we get there and for this I will present to you um our replication framework we uh we equipped uh or we implemented in Sparks now this
Is uh an easier or um yeah an easier version of the of the actual Slide the more detailed slide you find in the end of my presentations uh presentation once you receive the the slides via email after afterwards so uh first of all we conducted a city lab so creating a
Common knowledge base um benchmarking all of the cities with the same indicators conducting interviews and trying to find out about the same questions to to create a comparable knowledge base um based on this the city’s created impl implementation plans so this was all about creating a strategy Next Step
Uh was the project development itself so all the projects I showed on the last slide uh we um had a direct uh onetoone uh consultation and guided step-by-step process from A to Z to from the idea to the to the um yeah to the planning of of
The project and this yielded at least two projects per F following City uh Next Step was a market consultation so improve procurement by engaging with the market so really um again getting Pro projects down on the ground uh improve practices and engage directly with the suppliers in the lighthouses we
Basically did the same thing the same guided process um to upscale uh those Solutions and now this was all um supported you can see it in the Bottom by knowledge knowledge exchange and training and what do I mean with this um first of all we created information packages uh this was
Formalized knowledge of all the project ideas and all the projects developed in the lighthouses so um yeah a description of what happened how they did it and uh with equipped with a SWAT analysis um to create in the end so-called neutral information packages so everybody is on the same page and can
Understand how things were developed then um we facilitated the knowledge exchange uh transfer process with the name named City forums with webinars workshops and very importantly also with demo sites visits in the lighthouse cities H then we had a certified training track for um Municipal staff members of Staff training them in
Questions of smart city project development um yeah and as I said you see in the bottom uh here now the the detailed slide is in the in the end of my presentation now yeah I I this was a very quick Roundup of what we did but you see how
Multifaceted our approach there was and I think this is a reason why why we we were successful now Lessons Learned and bigger picture in this slide there is not uh there are not only the learnings from spikes but also the learnings um from our task group replication with which is a work
Group um spending over 16 projects just like Sparks and trying to um develop common denominators in terms of replication first of all it is a highly complex task and um so you you need resources you need time and you need to be well equipped um me being well equipped also means having those
Toolkits uh and those tools I showed on the last slides at hand um and well defining them so that everybody understands what’s the goal and how how to uh Reach This goal um then comparable data is basis for SE successful replication uh and standards make our life easier but uh still every city
Every district is unique and different um there are there the differences may be smaller or bigger but there are always differences and this has to be taken into account then um process over outcome I think this relates very much to what you Lorenzo uh talked about in up 2030 get everybody on
Board uh in the beginning focus on let’s say on the process and on the tools I present Ed in the last slides uh and not wait until the pilots are finished in the lighthouses and then on board the fellows um acceptance and gaining buyin is crucial Nicholas very sorry to to
Jump in uh just we need two we have two more presentations so if you can just uh wrap it up in a few sentences sorry thanks yeah I am I’m terribly uh sorry to take too much time as you see this is a highly complex topic I will close with
Uh the the um the note in red reputation Remains the Holy Grail we need to uh further conceptualize and work on it and try finding out how to uh how to bring bring these learnings from Project to other projects to other cities yeah thank you thanks so much
Um coming up next Dr AA Bashi he’s an associate professor and head of department at the department of environmental economics and sustainability at Budapest University of Technology and economics he conducts research regarding Urban sustainability climate adaptation vulnerability assessments and related Concepts besides the urban related topics he conducted
Research in various other sectors and climate adaptation issues he will talk about the so-called AQA index which describes plan quality regarding climate adaptation aspects on Urban level AA over to you yeah okay uh thank you and I hope you see my screen uh as well okay so uh thank you for
Introducing me and uh I promise I try to be as short as possible because you mentioned that we have some delay in in the schedule so today I’m going to talk you about specific framework or we can Ariz the urban adaptation plans um and uh from from all over uh from from from
Europe so basically it’s a it’s an already published paper and we are really proud of of this one because it was published by the nature partner Journal Urban sustainability um in the beginning of March uh this year and uh we have more than three quarters in this in this
Paper so it’s a really success story of of European cooporation regarding uh plan quity uh assessment so our main aim was quite simple uh to assess plan quality regarding Urban adaptation activities so that’s why we used an urban audit database to to Define uh a representative sample of more than 300
Cities across the former eu28 um and unfortunately just around uh 50 percentage uh cities have an adaptation plan and here you can find uh those cities and those plant uh which uh we could analyze the most plets are found in the UK um that’s why I mention
It it’s just a Pity that it a former eu28 so uh s plant from the UK but around 20 plant represented Poland France and and Germany and the total of a bit more than 50 plant of these 170 cities Weise developed it under a national Regional or local law that that
Requires municipal I is to to develop an urban climate adaptation plan and at the time of of plan publication this counted four cities in Denmark uh Ireland the UK and and France and um just fun fact that the oldest plan um the oldest Urban adaptation plan um in our sary was
Published in 2005 Lin from the UK um and since then the steadily more plans were published in 2019 and 20 18 and that’s why important to to emphasize that our cut of date was 2020 so basically we could aniz um more around 170 cities and as Dana mentioned um we
Elaborated a specific framework this is so-called adakar which is an ACR for adaptation plan Clarity assessment index um and um this Adare index is based on six principles you can find um on the right side of this uh slide so these principles or in other words these are
The main aspects we analyzed and we incorporated many section we incorporated many questions into into these um aspects so uh the factbase impact risk and vulnerabilities includes uh five uh questions regarding the general and specific impacts addressed by a uh plan or or what vulnerable sectors and what vulnerable uh uh social
Groups uh was distinguished by a given planand the goals uh principles have two questions regarding the concreteness of of adaptation goals or whether there are quantitative adaptation goals or not the measures section reflects to uh the vulnerable sectors such as agriculture or or or industry or buildings or
Something like that uh with uh certain questions the implementation phrase um refers to the prioritization of implemented actions who was responsible for for implementing given action what timeline and what budget and monitoring and and the participation uh principles are deal to almost the same um issues but from uh from another perspective use
The pdca uh cycle and we developed three different interpretation of this ad index ad one um is allocating one point per response option it means that it represent depth and detailedness uh of a given plan so this framework prioritize those plans which can distinguish a lot of goals a
Lot of vulnerable sectors uh in in the measures and of course it doesn’t mean that these plans are the most effective so that’s why we a bit modified it to the two uh index allocating one point per question but unfortunately this logic is not to suitable for for for effectively
Analyze uh the pl so that’s why we used uh our third option is add free which using her ristics and expert judgments and the scores within each principle are allocating according to relevance and representation of the topics and one of the center characteristics of the adak free is it focus on consistency between
Uh identified climate risks and measures and so so we identifying three consistency or just sorry five consistency categories the first one is between adap identified impacts um and adaptation goals it means that for example a given strategy identifyed an impact impact which is uh relevant for for deaths City and whether there were
At least one adaptation goal related to the previously defined uh risk it means that is a consistent strategy so uh for the five consistency categories we add five more points to uh to the ad free U scores and these ad free scores were standardized so that’s that’s how we can
Um equally uh handle the the principles um just a short presentation of of our uh results um the first sentence is I think the most important message of of our paper that blank it differ significantly between older medum and racing plans and um steadily and significant increasing from from older
Uh to to medium to to racing plans um we have some uh interesting results regarding top cities uh top performing cities such as Sophia from Bulgaria gway from Ireland and and duin scored highest according to this complex e free uh index so uh it was quite important to to
Dive into uh the details regarding um um uh policy framework so the Irish cities are required by the Irish government to to produce adaptation goals and for example the Sofia from from Bulgaria was quite um uh had a quite high score regarding the fact based measures and and implementations and we could see
That that plan quality has generally increased across all principles uh over time and Main conclusions are here that adaptation plans in Europe regarding these SED cities have steadily improved in quality uh over time dis quality uh index by about one points per year increased from 2005 to 2 uh and 20 and
What is really important that the consistency or the effectiveness of these uh plans uh increase slightly over time but it’s an increasing Trend uh as well so if you are more interested in in our results or in our uh methodology just please click on the nature partner Journal Urban
Sustainability and you can find or paper uh published um there and you can find lot of details regarding methodologies in suppl materials and a lot of interesting things about uh Urban um adaptation planning in Europe so thank you for your attention thank you uh AA so much for
Your presentation just to add that we are currently working on the nap Global assessment based on this framework uh and for our last presentation I would like to invite Dr Dion King director of development research at the center for International Development at Korea Development Institute to talk about economic Innovation
Partnership program the program was developed to facilitate climate Solutions and actions in partner countries Dr Kim has a deep experience in academic and policy research in the area of Applied development and international economics he has also implemented various cooperation and knowledge sharing programs and projects with International organizations and
Partner countries i’ would like to invite Dr Kim now to give his presentation and short overview about the EIP in Hungary uh thank you so much uh Diana and uh hello everyone and uh my great pleasure to be here to introduce the E program in each case implemented by the kdi with
The ministry of the economic and finance of career MF and I of then my presentation will be helpful to understand our EIP program and also they enhance our partnership working you through the eppn E cases my presentation as well so uh what I’m talking about in this presentation is the economic

Like to thank ggs uh for inviting us into this meaningful session of the GG week 2023 and I’d also like to express my gratitude for GGI and particularly the Hungarian organization of gggi for organizing this session and last but not least uh certainly a big thank you for
All all the presenters for the preparation and presentation um at the beginning in the opening remarks we heard a quote which says the greatest the obstacle is the higher the glory overcoming it so I keep saying that if the task would be easy it wouldn’t be us who would deal with it so
I think this is yourself who are dealing with this uh very big obstacle uh in your day daily work my my second thought is that um usually there needs to be a good balance between analysis planning designing and execution and implementation and and I think uh in this uh
Series of presentation we heard a handful from both of them so I I really like that we were you were speaking not only about ideas and plans but also execution and repeatable successes in particular in the cities and um last but my final comment is that U mostly we
Heard European uh almost all European countries were involved uh in the presentation which are uh presenters were were speaking about it was good to hear and it was nicely balanced with uh the Coran headquarters GGI and the think KD’s presentation so I uh would like just to mention these uh comments and
The floor is yours or the screen is yours back the thank you for all thank you so much for your closing thoughts and uh thank you everyone for your insightful presentation s uh unfortunately we do not have time for Q&A uh we focused on policy and
