Impact Logic: Social Innovation Categories for Cities’ Action Plans

How can cities’ public administrators, policy makers or transition teams be supported in selecting and monitoring social innovation actions that support people-centred systemic solutions to reduce carbon emissions? Including social innovation in cities’ climate city contracts and action plans, requires decision makers to consider the impact logic and impact pathways: which social innovation initiatives could lead to expected outcomes? In order to develop such impact logic, it is necessary to define categories of social innovations that can be implemented in urban or reginal action plans, for then identifying indicators for each category.
