Looking for practical solutions to support your local green transition in the Mediterranean? The ETU platform brings together tested tools, real-life experiences, and transfer opportunities to help cities and regions design and implement more sustainable and resilient strategies.
As part of the Ecosystemic Transition hUb (ETU), the Green Living Areas Mission is developing the ETU platform — a space where cities, practitioners, and project partners can explore and share a growing portfolio of solutions for the green transition.
The platform functions as both a knowledge hub and a practical tool, providing access to methodologies, digital tools, and real-life experiences developed across the Mediterranean.
The core of the platform is a growing portfolio of tested solutions, developed and implemented in real territorial contexts. These include tools, methodologies, digital platforms, and practical approaches that support local authorities in addressing concrete challenges.
For each solution, the platform provides key information, including:
- the challenge addressed and the solution’s added value
- the organisations behind it
- direct access to the solution
It also highlights where and how the solution has been tested, presenting the results achieved and the lessons learned from pilot experiences.
To facilitate navigation, solutions are structured using the ETU Matrix, which combines five themes of the green transition — green resilient planning, green energy systems, green mobility, green community engagement, and financing the green transition — with six cross-cutting pillars reflecting the ecosystemic dimensions of territorial transformation (organisational, environmental, social, territorial, technological, and financial).
Beyond accessing solutions, users can:
- stay informed about the latest ETU news and upcoming events
- connect with local partners through the Territorial Antennas
- learn about ETU calls to submit new solutions or benefit from transfer opportunities
The platform is designed to support key territorial planning frameworks such as Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMP), Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plans (SECAP), and Urban Nature Plans.By bridging knowledge and practice, the ETU platform helps local authorities move from inspiration to implementation, facilitating the transfer and scaling of solutions across Mediterranean territories.
