Challenge / Goal
Lahti has been an environmentally active city since the 1970’s, when the city started to clean up a severely polluted nearby lake. Successful environmental actions have raised ambitious generations, and the city administration takes responsibility for the quality of the surroundings. Therefore, Lahti applied for the status of the European Green Capital. The process inspired to develop a comprehensive climate action plan and set a target to become a climate-neutral city by 2025. However, a major problem needed to be addressed. All those numerous actions have to be implemented with a strict schedule and various key partners. Lahti’s climate plan contained 113 actions. Each action needs to be allocated to one or more contact persons from the city team that best know about that particular action.
Solution
A wide network is created for the most effective way to plan, implement, and report about climate actions, within Kausal Watch Platform. Specific actions are delegated to specific people in a single platform. Also, the contact persons became motivated when they could see the full picture of climate work and their role in it. The environmental coordinator could then manage the large network efficiently.
