After three and a half years of intense collaboration across Europe, the IN-PLAN project has reached its final milestone. Today, we are proud to share its Final Report, a comprehensive guide for local and regional authorities looking to bridge the gap between climate ambitions and spatial reality.
In addition to describing the journey behind the “IN-PLAN Practice”—a methodology designed to integrate energy and climate goals directly into spatial and territorial planning, the Final Report documents the journey of 15 Lighthouse and 30 Pilot authorities who co-created and refined these tools. Key takeaways include:
- A step-by-step roadmap from setup to monitoring.
- A “train-the-trainer” programme that has equipped energy and climate agencies across Europe to continue supporting municipalities long after the project ends.
- Concrete examples of how integrated planning has accelerated decarbonisation in five focus countries.
Whether you are a policy maker, an urban planner, or a regional energy agency, the final results offer a wealth of knowledge, tools, and lessons learned to help you navigate the green transition
