Legal and financial challenges that are experienced in France and the Netherlands when developing sustainable projects in the built environment.
City-zen was an international consortium, a program stimulating learning-by-doing in Grenoble and Amsterdam between March 2014 and November 2019. The results can be found in a booklet or in detailed reports. http://www.cityzen-smartcity.eu/home/reporting/deliverables/
Answer the question: What legal and financial challenges do we face in the transition towards clean energy in city's?
The research group Centre for Energy Research (Centrum voor Energievraagstukken) at the University of Amsterdam, in cooperation with DNV GL and La Métro has two tasks in the City-zen project: Analysing energy policies and the legal context of the demonstration projects (task WP4, 1.1) and studying financial barriers and the business models of the projects (task WP4, 1.2). As the subjects of the two studies appeared to be strongly interwoven, we published a preliminary report on the Energy policies and legal context in November 2016.
The project is part of the EU-funded project 'City-zen' that is initiated by a consortium of cities, research institutes and companies. Contributors are VITO, University of Siena, Queens University of Belfast, Think-E, University of Amsterdam.
As follow-up of this report, the CvE will conduct additional research for the City-zen project on the position of the ́Vulnerable end-user ́. This study will be published in the autumn of 2018.
A systems approach is key.
Climate transition plans that lack a systemic perspective can unintentionally shift risks, disrupt supply chains, harm human rights, or even contribute to biodiversity loss. For example, switching to a low-carbon product that requires three times more land may address your carbon goals, but jeopardize your biodiversity targets.
Without considering these interdependencies, your climate strategy may become inefficient and require reworking as new issues arise.

By addressing root causes and considering the ripple effects of climate decision-making in other areas, a systems lens ensures your plan goes beyond regulatory box-ticking.
Together, we can co-create effective action plans with your stakeholders and develop customized decision-making frameworks, accounting for material impacts on climate, nature, and people across your operations and value chain.

Embassy of Digital Futures organiseert een expositie op de Dutch Design Week 2024 over superpowers & escaping the algorithm. Op de conferentie: “Balanceren tussen Utopie en Dystopie” gaan we op zoek naar handelingsperspectief.
Er is de laatste tijd veel aandacht voor de polarisatie, mentale gezondheid van jongeren en de toenemende invloed van de big tech. De Embassy of Digital Futures gaat in op de vraag hoe we de ontwikkeling van digitale toekomsten kunnen beïnvloeden. Deze toekomsten bieden een beeld van hoop en nieuwe mogelijkheden. Er komen ‘superpowers’ tot onze beschikking! Deze superpowers hebben echter ook een keerzijde.
Onder het motto "Escape the algorithm" zoeken we naar het handelingsperspectief en verkennen we de ingrediënten voor de volgende vraag in onze zoektocht naar digitale toekomsten.
Na een presentatie van o.a. Koert van Mensvoort verdiepen we ons in de expo van ontwerpers; Julia Janssen, Leonore Snoek, Mayra Kapteijn en Bas Sala waarna een paneldiscussie volgt met onder meer Martijn de Waal, Marcel Thaens en Mieke van Heesewijk.
