Many cities around Europe have initiated projects addressing Scope 1 and 2 of the greenhouse gas protocol, now preparing for the next step of dealing with Scope 3, which is the indirect emission closely linked to our behaviour as cities and citizens. To support this, the Desire project established the Irresistible Cities Lab (ICL)

Dealing with Scope 3 emissions includes working outside the traditional processes of municipalities and finding new avenues to work with citizens and regulations. If we want a viable, realistic, and desirable green transformation of our cities we need to engage, act, reflect, learn fast and be agile in our approaches and choices. These approaches need to be efficient and operational. This dynamic approach is key in the Irresistible Cities Lab, a community open for practitioners at the cross-city level in Europe. 

The Lab will commence the activities with two tracks of interest as a starting point: (1) Regulatory framework/Policy making and (2) Community of practice building citizens participation.
