ClimateView: Globally Aiding in Climate Targets Through TEF
ClimateView, global leader in climate action technology, is offering governments and cities around the world access to its first-of-its-kind Transition Element Framework (TEF).
TEF offers a transparent framework for cities to move beyond pledges, translating climate goals into measurable actions.
The company aims for positive energy shifts, partnering with Accenture, ICLEI USA and Google to achieve these goals.
TEF focuses on KPIs to drive change to drive sustainable transitions, changing how people use resources and energy.
About ClimateView
ClimateView is a Swedish climate tech company founded in 2017 that helps cities and local governments transition to zero-carbon economies through its innovative digital platform, ClimateOS.
The company designs technology that enables the planning, implementation and monitoring of sustainability transitions, focusing on transforming complex climate data into actionable insights for cities, regions and nations.
The company ‘defines the transition’ via four clear steps:
- Foundation: Identifying challenges, assessing current emissions and energy use and define long-term goals
- Targets: Understanding and setting appropriate targets and selecting transitional KPIs, acting as measurable targets that guide progress
- Actions: Defining actions required to meet the targets — these are practical steps to drive progress
- Tracking: Continuously measuring KPIs to determine what's working and what needs adjusting, ensuring transition stays on course.
Co-Founder of ClimateView Tomer Shalit explains: “The world is a very different place to what it was eight years ago. The move away from fossil fuels and towards renewables has too much momentum to be stopped.
“A nuclear plant’s worth of solar panels is being built every day, global investment in clean technology is running at double the size of coal, oil and gas.
“The question is no longer ‘will it happen?’ but instead, ‘how fast?’.”
The company offers four different solutions depending on the scale and location of targets.
These are:
- The Local Climate Action Plan (LCAP)
- Energy Transition Plan (ETP)
- Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP)
- Comprehensive Climate Action Plan (CCAP).
TEF in use
TEF is already used in cities like Mannheim to assess impacts of installing additional solar panels at large scale.
Cincinnati uses TEF to communicate the benefits of installing heat pumps in public buildings and Rotterdam tracks the effectiveness of measures to boost railway commuting.
Dorothea Strüber, DACH Regional Direction at ClimateView says: “Climate action is a complete task, requiring everyone to be aligned on data, metrics and — most importantly — what to do next.
“ClimateView can be a digital backbone, ensuring cities make progress one step at a time."
More than 50 cities in Germany’s Ruhr Region, previously known as ‘Germany's hub of coal and steel’ are aiming to be the world’s greenest industrial region by 2045 by using ClimateView's technology.
The Scottish Climate Intelligence Service (SCIS), supported by the Government of Scotland, has partnered with ClimateView to start the climate programs across 32 local authorities.
Bristol has recently established a £1bn (US$1.3bn) public-partnership to decarbonise the city with ClimateView’s assistance. The city has also invested in a Net Zero Co-innovation Lab with €1.5m (US$1.6m) in funding from the EU, emphasising the importance of private investment and data-driven decision-making nature of ClimateView's platform.
Benefits of TEF
TEF creates the first step in lowering carbon emissions and reaching net zero.
Bwenefits of TEF include:
- Operationalisation: TEF transforms theoretical mitigation options into implementable elements
- Standardisation: By providing a structured approach to climate mitigation strategies
- Data-driven decision making: TEF supports climate actions with reliable, validated data
- Adaptability: This enables dynamic, real-time modelling that adapts to evolving circumstances
- Interconnectedness: TEF ties the entire transition together, showing how actions in one sector impact the whole climate strategy.
ClimateView’s ClimateOS and TEF frameworks are redefining climate action by converting ambitious pledges into actionable, data-driven pathways for cities worldwide.
By focusing on measurable KPIs, ClimateView empowers municipalities to set, implement and track meaningful sustainability targets, driving systemic change in energy use and resource management.
As more cities and regions adopt these tools, the global transition toward a zero-carbon economy gains momentum, guided by clarity, transparency and continuous adaptation.
