02 / The RTCN solution
From local needs to local actionFrom local assessment to climate action.
The impacts are widespread, but the response starts with each municipality’s reality. RTCN helps identify capabilities and organize a climate agenda tailored to the territory.
This journey brings together municipal management, cooperation between governments and connections with partners who can offer resources and knowledge.

From cooperation to practice
The RTCN methodologyAssess, prioritize
and connect.
Cooperation gains direction through three stages: understanding municipal capabilities, selecting agenda priorities and connecting opportunities for support.
Stage 01
Carbon Neutral Territory Rating
Understanding the territory is the first step towards action.
The rating assesses municipal administration capabilities, providing a basis for understanding the local context and guiding future decisions.
- Assessment of local capabilities
- Municipal management assessment
- A basis for setting priorities
