Innovative City-business Collaboration - 6 Case Studies

Together with the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) ICLEI launched the 2015 report: “Innovative city-business collaboration – Emerging good practice to enhance sustainable urban development”.

This study looks at six initiatives around the world that aspire to facilitate city-business collaboration with holistic, multi-stakeholder approaches from: Urban Infrastructure Initiative by the WBCSD; Indore, India; Scania, Sweden; Houston, USA; Rakli, Finland and Bottrop, Germany.

It provides insights into lessons learned and draws on the common aspects of the cases as well as some of their differences. Download the full report as well as the case study compilation here.

Renewable Energy Policy in Cities: Selected Case Studies

These case studies were identified and selected for a global study by ICLEI-Local Governments for Sustainability on behalf of IRENA (International Renewable Energy Agency) to illustrate how local governments can support a transition to Renewable Energy. The city cases in focus span five different continents and are from the following countries: Australia, Brazil, China, India, Germany, Sweden, and United States.

The case studies portray a broad mix of what local governments can do to enhance the deployment of Renewable Energy in their city. Below, you may find an overview of the themes and case studies, and links to download the digital publications.
