RESOURCE EFFICIENCY PROGRAMME FOR CITIES

2. Towards Resource Wisdom
•Resource Wisdom project is developing an over-arching framework for large or middle-sized cities to encompass climate, environment and resource efficiency policies as a modular programme.
•City of Jyväskylä is the test-bed for the programme and pilot city in promoting resource wisdom and in search for resource-efficient and low-carbon production and consumption.
•The model is a scalable, step-by-step programme for municipalities and their cross-sectional stakeholders in the region for creating well-being from circular and carbon-neutral economy.

9. Implementation
•Departments’ own action planning according to Roadmap
•Task groups, chief officers & training
•Introduction of resource efficiency indicators
•Energy & material efficiency boost by public procurements
•100% green electricity in public buildings
•Low-emissions transportation
•Adopting waste hierarchy in waste & material policies
•LCA, LCC in built environment
•Promoting the use of local food in public buildings
•Co-creation platform & prototyping with residents
•Social media & communications to engage local residents and providing up-to-date information on the sustainability activities.
