The CapaCITIES 2.0 Learning Portfolio
The CapaCITIES Learning Portfolio brings together essential knowledge and practical insights to help urban actors strengthen their capacity for sustainable transformation in line with the EU Mission for Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities. It offers a structured overview of the main areas of action and challenge identified within the CapaCITIES network — from governance and financing mechanisms to innovation, collaboration, and community engagement.
Designed to be both accessible and adaptable, the Learning Portfolio serves a wide range of audiences: from experts and practitioners involved in climate transition projects to anyone interested in learning how cities can achieve climate neutrality. Its open language and flexible structure make it a valuable resource for both individual learning and collective capacity-building processes.
The way in which the Portfolio can be read depends on the reader’s objectives. It supports both in-depth exploration and quick referencing, allowing users to tailor their engagement to their specific needs. More details and guidance are available in the How to Use section. Each section also includes a dedicated set of #Hashtags, which help readers navigate related material across sections and subcategories. A full Hashtag Index offers an easy overview of these connections.
Continuously evolving, the Learning Portfolio is designed as a living resource, enriched over time with new materials and examples. Resources marked “In Progress” indicate forthcoming updates and ongoing contributions from the CapaCITIES community.
