Sustainable Planning and Resilience Knowledge Learning Environment (SPARKLE) is a pioneering capacity-building program that will equip over 600 Local and Regional Authorities (LRA) with the skills, capacity, tools, support, and inspiration they need to successfully develop and implement their clean energy transition.
It will provide:
- A free open access on-line learning platform with:
- 1 common track to provide LRA’s with common knowledge on climate planning.
- 5 specialised tracks to enable LRAs to go further, exploring learning pillars on governance, fossil-free districts, community energy, sustainable food, and resource-wise economies.
- 5 in-person thematic summer/winter schools for 150 policy makers and civil servants.
- A free and open-access transition pathway modelling tool to support LRAs in their planning, engagement and decision-making.
- Mentoring and peer-to-peer support to put learning into practice.
The learning platform and modelling tool will be sustained well beyond the funded period, providing vital resources to LRAs across Europe in implementing their Clean Energy Transition.
