Networks of specialists and eco-supporters

Several specialists in a range of disciplines were involved in the various project initiatives and in their steering groups. Besides environmental and climate experts, they included professionals in procurement, technical services, planning and public relations. These specialists were responsible for designing and developing new operating formats and emission calculating tools.

Eco-support activity assisted in bringing the new operating formats into use. 640 local government employees designated as eco-supporters were trained in mitigating climate change. These employees were networked by working sector across local authority boundaries and they shared and discussed their experiences of this work.
