COLLABORATION
The Barriers:
• Economic downturn
• Perceived competition for resources
• Reducing staff levels / loss of expertise
The Need:
• ‘Community of geography’
• Interrelationships between municipalities
• Pooling of technical resource / intelligence
Our Approach
• Ensure strong political leadership
• Communicate the benefits
• Provide an independent focus and catalyst for
collaboration
• Actively facilitate

Shared Assumptions

SHARED ASSUMPTIONS
The Barriers:
• Very different municipalities
• Very different potentials across municipalities
The Need:
• Enabling mutual understanding and recognition
• Developing a shared vision for the region’s approach
• Everybody ‘on the same page’
Our Approach
• Convene regular meetings and communications
• Scope out, develop and agree a series of assumptions
• Use this alongside CoM guidance in the development of
SEAPs

A Common Approach

A COMMON APPROACH
The Barriers:
• Municipalities at various stages in emissions reduction
• A variety of approaches and methodologies in place
The Need:
• To deliver using limited resources
• Facilitate / enable peer support
• Enable cross-comparability
Our Approach
• Procure a common platform for carbon reduction scenario
modelling for all municipalities
• Provide training and support in its use
• Facilitate regular meetings to share experiences
• Ensure system could ‘visualise’ scenarios to engender
continued political support
