In this page, you can find an overview of tools that cities can utilise for creating their action plan: NetZeroPlanner, Climateview, SuperUrbanity, Kausal and others
NetZeroPlanner
The NZC free tool for all cities
NetZeroPlanner is a powerful online tool that enables cities to analyse and enhance the effectiveness of their Climate Action Plans (CAPs), ensuring they achieve their decarbonisation goals. Tailored to each city’s unique characteristics and strategic climate objectives, NetZeroPlanner generates a data-driven roadmap to guide emissions reductions through 2030. By allocating costs, benefits, and co-benefits to specific carbon sub-sectors and relevant stakeholder groups, the tool allows cities to maximise returns—both in carbon reductions and financial savings—for each investment they make.
NetZeroPlanner also provides annual performance management reporting, allowing cities to assess progress, evaluate CAP effectiveness, and make necessary adjustments to stay on track toward their climate targets.
Who can use NetZeroPlanner?
NetZeroPlanner supports cities at various stages of climate planning:
- Mission Cities refining or iterating on existing CAPs can leverage NetZeroPlanner’s in-depth analysis and scenario modeling to adjust plans and pursue decarbonisation targets.
- Cities just getting started with climate planning can rely on NetZeroPlanner’s structured approach to develop a CAP from scratch, using data-driven insights and comparable values from similar cities to shape effective, achievable plans.
- Cities with existing CAPs can use NetZeroPlanner as a reliable resource to update, validate, and cross-check their plans with a robust, alternative methodology.
Whether updating or building a new plan, NetZeroPlanner’s reporting features also allow cities to track progress, identify areas for improvement, and ensure they remain aligned with their decarbonisation goals.
Note: City data and plans are only available to city users associated with that city. Other users can still access NetZeroPlanner to trial the tool and its functionality but cannot access specific city plans and data. If you are facing issues accessing the tool, please contact our support team. For a complete learning experience, join the NetZeroPlanner Group in the NZC portal.

ClimateView
ClimateView was built to change that. Unlike traditional planning tools, it’s a complete system for turning strategy into action – with built-in support for financing, governance, delivery and monitoring.

Superurbanity:
Kausal:
The Kausal Platform is a software-as-a-service developed by Kausal Oy (registered in Helsinki, Finland) to help cities and local governments turn climate targets into tangible action plans. Its two main modules are Kausal Watch, which supports monitoring, management and public reporting of climate and sustainability actions, and Kausal Paths, which allows scenario modelling of actions, their cost, emission reduction and other impacts.
The platform enables administrators to assign responsibility for actions, track progress through dashboards, link those actions to measurable indicators, integrate data from various sources, and publish results for transparency. It is built on an open-source model (AGPLv3) and runs on carbon-neutral servers, and supports integration with sign-in systems and organisational structures.
