The transition readiness assessment of a region is built upon a systemic approach to cross-sectorial transition ecosystem (“what is a transition ready ecosystem?”) that defines the required elements and sub-elements that a region should have in order to be characterized as transition ready.
The TSLs are able to use the Transition Readiness Self-Assessment Tool answering to a set of qualitative questions to calculate their transition readiness level and identify their weak points. The analysis also allows for a comparative assessment with benchmark and other region’s transition readiness, highlighting areas of concern that fall below the average performance and providing recommendations (linked to transition model/roadmap) on how to speed up the transition towards climate neutrality.
Although Transition readiness assessment is a useful step for the creation of possible pathways/scenarios in the beginning of the transition process, it is an iterative process allowing for adjustment of the transition pathways and the use cases. This continuous learning during the next phases of the transition process (Activity 11.4 of TRANSFORMER Roadmap) is also crucial for adapting the strategies that were designed to accelerate a successful transition towards climate neutrality, ensuring that the region remains on course to achieve its desired outcomes and maximize the impact of its transition efforts through the pilot use cases.
