2023-2025: LC3 Project
LC3: Lemesos City Cooling Challenge
Department of Civil Engineering and Geoinformatics of Cyprus University of Technology (NetZeroCities Pilot Cities Programme, NZC-H2020-202209,€1,500,000).
Description:
Limassol is one of the fifty-three cities from across twenty-one European Union and Horizon 2020 Associated Countries that have been invited to embark upon unprecedented climate action through the NetZeroCities Pilot Cities Programme managed by the Mission Platform of the EU Mission on Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities (EU Cities Mission).
Limassol, through LC3 – Lemesos City Cooling Challenge – pilot project, as part of the Pilot Cities, will experiment with new ways to decarbonize rapidly throughout a two-year period.
Programme. Pilot Cities are setting the urban climate transition on a new trajectory. They will implement systemic and locally designed innovative actions that span multiple areas, from buildings to waste and levers of change, including governance, finance, and policy.
Pilot Cities will experiment with new ways to rapidly decarbonize over the course of a two-year programme.
LC3 – Lemesos City Cooling Challenge will provide ground for taking systemic, inclusive, and multi-lever approaches to transforming city systems. Over the two-year journey, Pilot Cities will reflect and learn as they go, providing opportunities for other cities to follow in their footsteps, replicating and/or scaling approaches and solutions relevant to their context reflecting the Pilot character of the interventions
