Climate leaders delivering climate neutrality by 2050
REMARKABLE CLIMATE LEADERS will support local leaders to deliver a step change in progress towards carbon neutrality by 2050 in 7 regions across Europe. The Climate Emergency and Energy Transition agendas require clear leadership, ambition, courage and conviction if our 2050 targets and goals are to be achieved. REMARKABLE will create a network of Current and Emerging Climate Leaders who, through their actions and inspiration, will drive their municipalities, public authorities, communities and regions. They will transform their approaches from one focused mainly on energy efficiency/renewables to one focused on the strategic goal of climate neutrality by 2050.
The REMARKABLE CLP will also facilitate the creation of 60 Roadmaps for public authorities aiming at Climate Neutrality by 2050. These Roadmaps will allow our Climate Leaders to translate strategic aspirations and policy ambitions into concrete and disruptive far reaching measures. The 7 Regional Energy Agencies involved in REMARKABLE will develop 14 Climate Neutrality services to expand their roles as change agents in the Clean Energy Transition and Climate Neutrality challenges
REARKABLE CLIMATE LEADERS will exploit its outcomes and results through the creation of an EU Climate Leaders Circle. Groundbreaking and long-term measures towards Climate Neutrality will be shared through this Circle. Within 36 months the Circle will have 320 Leaders from across Europe, including 30 from 7 Observer Regions/Countries who will follow the project from the outset. The REMARKABLE CLIMATE LEADERS Circle will create synergies with existing networks and initiatives e.g. COMO, ManagEnergy to support and enhance their impacts, complementing the technical, financial and policy capacity building agendas with new knowledge on Leadership and Climate Neutrality.
Climate Leader Circle Digital Lunch Hangouts
In the spring of 2024 the Climate Leader Circle will meet for eight digital lunch hangouts. During the meetings our climate leaders get the chance to talk and engage in some thought-provoking conversations with other climate leaders from all corners of Europe.

Climate Leadership Programme
As a part of Remarkable Horizon2020 project North Sweden Regional Energy Agency developed a Climate Leadership Programme. To customize the program at regional and local level North Sweden Regional Energy Agency started with an ethnographic study. In this study we found that Climate leaders asked to be updated and well informed about climate science, climate neutrality and different notions from this field, and we also found a prerequisite to be the ‘owner’ of the climate and energy data to be able to create realistic and effective Roadmaps for Climate Neutrality before 2050. The need to regularly access and inventory the emissions of greenhouse gases is of most importance. The third and most interesting finding was the need for engagement and communication training.
