The question and scientific objective of the research project is to identify political framework conditions and success factors that positively influence regional climate protection. In addition, a transdisciplinary project design should ensure that the transfer of knowledge in the project runs in both directions: On the one hand, political science findings on success factors from science into regional practice, and on the other hand, experiences of the relevant practical actors from the regions and municipalities into the research project in order to find new success factors or improve the theoretically described factors. Networking within the framework of workshops is also intended to promote the exchange of knowledge between the regions and their stakeholders.
The aim is to expand the state of scientific research on political processes in the context of regional climate governance, to support regional actors with concrete advice on success factors and to improve a method for self-assessment of one's own process so that this can ultimately be made available to all interested parties, even beyond the project. In addition, successful and innovative climate protection projects and processes are to be documented.
