The Andalusian Energy Agency as a closing of the training in analytical and collaborative tools for agents of change who wish to contribute to the transition of sustainability in the cities of the TOMORROW project, Ruth Borrego (AEA) and Inés del Real (Msc. Sustainable Development Utrecht University) have presented the application of 3 of these tools applied to the POWERTY project:
- System demarcator: Tool to define the limits of the analysis of a system. The need to consider, in addition to geographical, institutional and sectoral limits of the project, a new limit, the social one, due to the importance of vulnerable groups in POWERTY and its definition, has been highlighted.
- Multilevel perspective: Tool to easily identify tensions and challenges in the relationships between elements in a system. Instead of a complete system has been used for one part, that is, to analyze a measure to be considered in POWERTY's Andalusian Regional Action Plan: the promotion of energy communities.
- Four levels of governance: Tool to reflect on what is currently happening in the system, helping to diagnose the activities that different actors in a system (including local authorities, citizens, companies, knowledge institutions and NGOs) participate in, in relation to sustainability transitions. The different levels at which interventions are needed to implement a measure in the Action Plan, namely the promotion of energy communities, were revealed.
