Sustainable Development and Planning 2024
The Technical Director of Techne Consulting, a partner in the ICHANGE project, presented a paper with some of the project’s results last week at the 13th International Conference on Sustainable Development and Planning held in Seville from 23 to 25 September 2024. At the conference was registered 81 people from all continents with different professional backgrounds who share an interest in sustainable planning.
The invited presentation first provided an overview of environmental footprints used to assess the impacts of human activities on the environment. The Horizon 2020 I-CHANGE project was then introduced, which addresses the challenge of engaging and promoting active citizen participation to address climate change, sustainable development and environmental protection. Finally, environmental footprint methodologies were applied based on the information collected by the Living Labs on daily activities, traffic simulation results and statistical data to calculate specific footprints in the base case and in the alternative scenarios for different Living Labs in the I-CHANGE project.
