Self-assessment Please rate how much your city relates to the following statements on a scale from 1 to 5, where 1 is "cannot relate" and 5 is "very much relates". 1

The city can rely on a growing, young and above-average educated and skilled population The city can rely on favourable economic conditions such as high salaries/tax revenues The city can rely on a supportive local research environment The city can rely on a fast authorisation process The city can rely on a fast funding/financing process The city can rely on a consolidated communication platform with proven success in disseminating climate awareness The city can rely on its own funding schemes and moderately resorts to external funding for its climate policies The city can rely on favourable geo-climatic conditions (e.g., proximity to water bodies, moderate occurrence of climate extremes) The city cannot rely on any of the above favourable conditions, but major obstacles to climate neutrality are not expected The city cannot rely on any of the above favourable conditions, but this is what makes its pathway to climate neutrality a textbook example for many other similar cities to follow The city cannot rely on any of the above favourable conditions, but recent R&I solutions offer the potential to enable at least one of them.

The city cannot rely on any of the above favourable conditions, but this is the ‘right moment’ (‘policy window’) to place and prioritise the topic of urban climate neutrality on the agenda The city cannot rely on any of the above favourable conditions, but it has a history of coping with it by pioneering climate policies and by looking for alternative creative approaches (e.g., collaborations /networking access to crucial knowledge, participation in exploratory studies)

The city cannot rely on any of the above favourable conditions, but it has already secured enough internal and external funding/financing for climate related projects to become a climate neutrality pioneer

Please elaborate on any of the statements in the previous table whose declared rating is either "1" or "5" 1500 character(s) maximum For instance, if the answer to the statement “The city can rely on a growing, young and above-average educated and skilled population” is "5", we invite you to provide additional explanations on the specific situation of your city. The city of Rotterdam is extremely vulnerable to climate change, due to its location in a delta. At the same time, the population has one of the lowest average incomes in The Netherlands and vulerable to economic change. We are confident that we can turn these unfavourable conditions into opportunities to benifit all and be an example for other cities. Especially with also a large industry situated within our borders, we can demonstrate to cities in similair conditions how to combine the transitions in city and port, on an mutual integral way,that strengthen our cities. For example, the current and expected supply of residual heat is sufficient to deliver enough heat for all of our homes, therby saving the scarces renewable electricity for other functions. Our track record proves we can be a frontrunner in making the impossible, possible on new innovative ways. We are confident that if the energy transition doesn't succeed in Rotterdam, knowhere can. Rotterdam makes it happen!

Risk assessment For any of the risk categories listed in the table below, please identify and comment on high-impact and high-likelihood risks that could impact the achievement of your city's climate neutrality target by 2030

Every plan or project has risks which can harm its execution. The purpose of a risk assessment is to identify and analyse these potential risks. Properly made risk assessment can reduce the likelihood of negative impacts to the plan/project and/or the magnitude of the impacts, if effective mitigating actions are planned and implemented. Risk assessment has three steps: - Identification of the risks and their impacts - Evaluation of risk level - Planning of necessary mitigating actions Identifying potential risks, i.e. a list of potential things that could stop the city from achieving its climate neutrality target, is the first step in the risk assessment process. For each risk category, the help text provides examples of potential sources of risk. Those lists are not conclusive. Your city is invited to reflect on the risks impacting/associated with an accelerated run towards climate neutrality, by focusing on those having both high impact and high likelihood. It is recommended to include city-specific risks stemming from its local characteristics. Definitions - Risk: risk is defined as the effects of uncertainty on objectives. - Risk level: combination of the likelihood of occurrence and the expected impact to plan/project execution. - Risk source: fundamental (internal and/or external) driver that causes risks, i.e.

anything which alone or in combination has the intrinsic potential to give rise to risk. Risk sources identify where risks can originate.
