Alpe-Adria Clean Transport Alliance

Enabling local and regional governments in the Alpe-Adria-Region to decarbonise their transport systems.
Electrification of transport plays a significant role in the transition towards net-zero greenhouse gas emissions energy systems. Strategic documents such as National Energy and Climate Plans (NECP) recognise this as well. In order to fulfil the NECPs and to meet the targets of the EU Clean Energy Package, it is imperative that actors implement concrete measures on a local level.

To facilitate this goal, the project gathers a network of decision makers and relevant actors that take action for local decarbonisation of transport. Four white papers map the current condition and capacities of local governments in the respective countries. On their basis, the project develops a tailormade toolbox that supports users in their decarbonisation efforts. 120 participants receive training in using the toolbox throughout 12 workshops. During these events, participants also report their feedback on the toolbox, so that it can be adapted and improved according to users’ needs. The workshops also provide knowledge on concrete measures for electrification of transport and on making use of locally available renewable energy sources. Furthermore, they introduce participants to the Choice Awareness Theory which offers guidance on how to efficiently implement radical technological changes. In the long term, the project hopes to establish similar decarbonisation standards throughout the participating countries.
