n this newsletter, you can read about how the 2ISECAP project is advancing integrated energy and climate planning through Living Labs. The project’s evaluation highlights their potential for transparency, inclusivity, and efficiency, laying the groundwork for future policy adoption. Learn how six European municipalities are using Living Labs to develop SECAPs, promoting collaboration and innovation in the energy transition. Discover two key toolkits—one for Sustainable Spatial Planning and another for Local Energy Coalitions—designed to help cities integrate climate goals into governance and planning. These toolkits provide practical guidance for municipalities and stakeholders to drive local energy transitions.

In this newsletter, you can read about the Transnational Living Lab (TLL), a collaborative platform within the 21SECAP project that supports an inclusive energy transition for governments, organizations, businesses, and communities. You’ll also learn about Local Energy Coalitions (LECs), introduced by the 2ISECAP project, which enhance cross-sectoral cooperation among various stakeholders. Additionally, we cover Living Lab Training Modules that provide education on methodologies and tools developed by the University of Applied Sciences in Western Switzerland. The newsletter further features highlights from recent 2ISECAP events, including regular stakeholder meetings that focus on community collaboration and progress in energy transition strategies.
