In 2017, the EU-funded project STARDUST set about developing solutions in three cities, serving as testbeds for three other cities in Europe. The former are known as "lighthouse" cities as they show the way, and the latter are known as "follower cities", as they replicate the measures.

These solutions cover mobility, ICT, energy and smart districts/buildings.

All this is undertaken against the backdrop of the EU's drive for climate-neutral cities by 2030 for some, and by 2050 for others.

In follower city Cluj-Napoca, Romania, some 120 pupils were given a hands-on presentation of STARDUST.

They discussed ecological behaviour, sustainable means of transport and especially the consequences of using non-renewable sources of energy at current rates.

In Kozani, the other follower city in STARDUST, children benefited from measures to revamp their schools, thus raising their awareness of climate-change action and the need for it.

Some cities in STARDUST have experimented with phone apps to nudge people to change how they get about in their daily lives. 

The city of Tampere in Finland developed and launched a mobility carbon footprint calculator.

It is a way to inform residents about their very own CO2 emissions.

This information alone may not be sufficient to change hearts and minds, but the app can nudge, if not push, people towards climate-neutral behaviour.

This engagement should be to give and to get.

Over six years, STARDUST and its cities have gained insights and experience from different countries as they head for climate neutrality with their residents.
