Evalua4ng transforma4ve energy governance in an urban context
Project Leader: Lena Neij
Duration: November 2024 - December 2029
Collaborators: Linköping University, SEI
IIIEE Researchers: Lena Neij, Carl Dalhammar
Aim: The aim of this project is to increase the capacity of cities to govern transformative change towards a sustainable and climate-neutral energy system. The focus is on the evaluation of transformative policy tools and the development of an interdisciplinary evaluation framework that will allow for building strategies of continuous, learning-oriented evaluation approaches that can make the implementation of new transformative policy instruments more effective. The empirical focus will be on transformative governance tools which are currently gaining increasing attention in research and policy, (1) urban experimentation and system demonstrations, (2) transformative finance at the city level, and (3) public procurement for system innovation. The project will be carried out as three doctoral projects at Lund University, Linköping University and SEI; and the supervising institutions have long-standing collaborations with cities in building capacity for transformative change.
