“…The European Union (EU) has established a need to deeply interlink the European Green Deal and the Digital Transition towards attaining neutral-climate and smart cities. Achieving these objectives is really challenging [21]. To minimize the pertinent impacts and accelerate the energy transition through climate and mobility policies, it is necessary to evaluate the causes of pollution using an effective monitoring system and accurate data, such as those employed in sensor data analysis, to support the decisions made in this regard [22][23][24].…”

Air pollution is a global issue that impacts environmental inequalities, and air quality sensors can have a decisive role in city policymaking for future cities. Science and society are already aware that during the most challenging times of COVID-19, the levels of air pollution in cities decreased, especially during lockdowns, when road traffic was reduced. Several pollution parameters can be used to analyse cities’ environmental challenges, and it is more pressing than ever to have city climate decisions supported by sensor data. We have applied a data science approach to understand the evolution of the levels of carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, particulate matter 2.5, and particulate matter 10 between August 2021 and July 2022. The analysis of the air quality levels, captured for the first time via 80 monitoring stations distributed throughout the municipality of Lisbon, has allowed us to realize that nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter 10 exceed the levels that are recommended by the World Health Organization, thereby increasing the health risk for those who live and work in Lisbon. Supported by these findings, we propose a central role for air quality sensors for policymaking in future cities, taking as a case study the municipality of Lisbon, Portugal, which is among the European cities that recently proposed be climate-neutral and smart city by 2030.

In view of the objectives of environmental sustainability and climate neutrality, advocated by the Paris Agreement and the “European green deal”, energy taxation represents a fundamental tool for the gradual replacement of traditional fossil fuels with renewable ecological sources in a cost-saving manner. Moreover, it enables us to rethink energy supply models. The reflection considers measures developed at both EU and domestic levels, examining tools, mechanisms and tax incentives designed to facilitate an environmentally-friendly energy transition. Particular focus is given to energy communities – a form of energy system democratization allowing users to become producers, consumers and managers simultaneously, transforming the energy market, still reliant on fossil fuels and organized around centralized production and distribution networks, from a “green” perspective.

“…More specifically, member states agreed to submit national Recovery and Resilience Plans (RRP) to receive support from the Fund that would outline how they will use these investments to contribute to the green and digital goals set by the European Commission. Thirty-seven percent of investment should be channeled to green actions and twenty-one percent to digital actions, following the EU climate neutrality goal of 2050 (Dupont et al, 2020;Karlsson & Silander, 2020).…”

In today’s unprecedented transformation in the global socio-economic system caused by the COVID-19 pandemic crisis and the escalating fourth industrial revolution, reinforcing innovative entrepreneurship appears a significant policy objective that can lead to overall socio-economic development. In this drastically changed context, entrepreneurship support policies seem that they need to be both conceptually and practically readjusted, simultaneously at the macro, meso, and micro levels. This paper investigates the case of public entrepreneurship policies in the European Union (EU), aiming to find specific patterns and suggest a new multilevel policy framework. Initially, the article offers a brief overview of the related trends created in the emerging post-COVID-19 era. Next, the “competitiveness web” perspective in terms of “macro-meso-micro” level synthesis is presented, considering that it can function as a theoretical framework for entrepreneurship reinforcement. Recent EU entrepreneurship support policy guidelines are then explored, emphasizing the latest trends and the development opportunities arising with the EU Recovery and Resilience Facility establishment to deal with the consequences of the current health and socio-economic crisis. Upon this basis, the paper concludes in a proposal for an integrated “macro-meso-micro” policy, placing at the epicenter the mechanism of the Institutes of Local Development and Innovation (ILDI). This policy aims to strengthen the spatially-located firms to reposition and readapt the “Stra.Tech.Man” potential they have and activate in their local business ecosystem (strategy-technology-management synthesis).
