Just transitions to renewables in mining areas: Local system dynamics
[EN] In the field of just energy transitions, local scales have been relegated and limited to qualitative approaches with non-specific methods by observation. Local quantitative approaches have gained popularity but remain far from the topic of just transitions and elude rural areas, probably because of data scarcity. Amid the quantitative panoply, system dynamics is attracting greater attention to alleviate such data shortages. Yet, despite the claim for holistic approaches, its application is scarce in rural contexts. This research presents an intuitive, scalable, and easily adaptable modelling exercise through system dynamics to estimate the effects on net employment and land availability of restructuring towards renewable energy sources in the rural mining areas of LeĂłn (Spain), presenting possible lessons and policy implications for local and rural just transitions. A partially just transition is feasible in the short term, but a properly just transition is three decades late. The most optimistic projections suggest the potential creation of around five thousand jobs per zone, which is significantly fewer than the approximately forty-five thousand jobs that were recorded during the peak years of coal mining exploitation. Renewables fail to keep a young, qualified population in the areas, therefore showing the need to potentiate alternative activities, as well as causing sensitive trade-offs between land requirements and potential net employment. Land reductions for renewable projects vary depending on the scenario, ranging from 6 % to 17 %. This range poses a threat to the ecological integrity of these areas.S
Sustainability analysis of the CITYLAB solutions
The objective of the CITYLAB project is to develop knowledge and solutions that result in roll-out, upscaling and further uptake of cost effective strategies, measures and tools for emission free city logistics. CITYLAB includes a set of Living Laboratories where promising logistic concepts are implemented related to emissions free city logistics. The objective of this report is to assess the impact that would occur when the CITYLAB implementations would be scaled up. The main challenge that has to be overcome is the difference in type, availability and detail of data from different CITYLAB implementations. This assessment of the impacts of upscaling is done by integrating all stakeholdersâ opinions in the evaluation process and taking into account the costs and benefits for society as well as the financial viability for industry partners

The Competitiveness of Ports in Emerging Markets : The case of Durban, South Africa
This report provides a synthesis of main findings from the OECD Port-Cities Programme, created in
2010 in order to assess the impact of ports on their cities and provide policy recommendations to increase
the positive impacts of ports on their cities. This Programme was directed by Olaf Merk, Administrator
Port-Cities within the OECD Public Governance and Territorial Development Directorate.
This synthesis report was directed and written by Olaf Merk; it draws on the work of a number of
other contributors: CĂ©sar Ducruet, Jasper Cooper, Jing Li, Ihnji Jon, Maren Larsen and Lucie Billaud. The
report has benefited from comments from Bill Tompson, Nils-Axel Braathen, Jane Korinek, Nicolas Mat
and Juliette Cerceau.
The synthesis report is based on findings from a series of OECD Port-Cities case studies. Such case
studies were conducted for Le Havre/Rouen/Paris/Caen (France), Hamburg (Germany), Helsinki (Finland),
Marseille (France), Mersin (Turkey), Rotterdam/Amsterdam (the Netherlands), Antofagasta (Chile),
Bratislava/KomĂĄrno/Ć tĂșrova (Slovak Republic), Durban (South Africa) and Shanghai (China). Within the
framework of these studies, study visits to these port-cities were conducted, which included a series of
interviews with the port-city related actors and stakeholders in these places.
The OECD Port-Cities Programme also benefited from visits to the following ports and port-cities and
discussion with port-related actors in the following port-cities: Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Singapore,
Casablanca, Venice, Trieste, Genoa, ValparaĂso, Varna, Gdansk, Koper, Vienna, Antwerp, Felixstowe, Los
Angeles, Long Beach, Sydney and Newcastle (Australia).

Within the framework of the Programme, three different workshops in Paris were organised and
benefited from presentations by: CĂ©sar Ducruet, Markus Hesse, Elvira Haezendonck, Claudio Ferrari, Jan

Training of Crisis Mappers and Map Production from Multi-sensor Data: Vernazza Case Study (Cinque Terre National Park, Italy)
This aim of paper is to presents the development of a multidisciplinary project carried out by the cooperation between Politecnico di Torino and ITHACA (Information Technology for Humanitarian Assistance, Cooperation and Action). The goal of the project was the training in geospatial data acquiring and processing for students attending Architecture and Engineering Courses, in order to start up a team of "volunteer mappers". Indeed, the project is aimed to document the environmental and built heritage subject to disaster; the purpose is to improve the capabilities of the actors involved in the activities connected in geospatial data collection, integration and sharing. The proposed area for testing the training activities is the Cinque Terre National Park, registered in the World Heritage List since 1997. The area was affected by flood on the 25th of October 2011. According to other international experiences, the group is expected to be active after emergencies in order to upgrade maps, using data acquired by typical geomatic methods and techniques such as terrestrial and aerial Lidar, close-range and aerial photogrammetry, topographic and GNSS instruments etc.; or by non conventional systems and instruments such us UAV, mobile mapping etc. The ultimate goal is to implement a WebGIS platform to share all the data collected with local authorities and the Civil Protectio
