Following our webinar, “Making Stakeholder Engagement Work: Governance Structures & Scalable Solutions for Mission Cities”, we are taking a closer look at three inspiring approaches from Paris, Sønderborg, and Lund, now captured in three new factsheets. While each city has taken a different path, their experiences point to a common lesson: successful collaboration is about creating the right conditions for people and organisations to turn shared ambitions into action. In Sønderborg, it starts with people: “It’s all about passionate people driving the agenda and engaging other people,” explains Allan Pilgaard-Jensen, Managing Director of ProjectZero. Lund demonstrates the power of facilitation, bringing together 37 actors to test and implement climate solutions across energy, mobility and construction, with the municipality acting as a facilitator rather than an authority. And in Paris, the focus is on moving from commitment to implementation: “Let the pact be a symbol, but make the tools do the work.” The three factsheets unpack these experiences and the practical lessons behind them: how to engage businesses and local stakeholders, structure effective partnerships, and create approaches that can grow, evolve and inspire action elsewhere. Explore the Climate and Biodiversity Pact of Paris, ProjectZero in Sønderborg and CoAction Lund, and watch the webinar recording to hear directly from the people behind these initiatives.
