FA is based in Turin (890k inhabitants), known in Italy as the “Capital of the Alps”. First capital of Italy, a “former” industrial city (FIAT factory) was put on the map by foreigners with the 2006 Winter Olympic

• Games. The city is undergoing a broad transformation towards services and high level education.

In 2016 Turin was awarded the second prize in the EU competition “The European Capital of Innovation Award – iCapital”. Turin is the capital of the Piedmont Region (2.2m inhabitants) that accounts for 8.2% of gross final consumption in Italy (2005) with an energy intensity of 140toe/m€1995

Fondazione per l'Ambiente, www.fondazioneambiente.org , was founded in 2004 by 23 public and private partners operating in Piedmont. FA is a non-profit body that promotes research, communication and experts' training in the sector of environmental and energy policies with the specific focus at the local level. Our thematic research areas are:

• Energy and environment: dealing with energy and environmental issues,

with a specific focus on connections between local / global emissions and policies;

• Local public services: dealing with economic, political, regulatory and governance aspects of local services, in

particular those with environmental impact such as waste, water, local public transports, energy. They are all managed under the international initiative www.turinschool.eu (see latest Handbook here)

• Instruments supporting decision makers: including all horizontal activities aimed at strenghtening human

capital in public administration and, more generally, at capacity building at both institutional and market

• level. FIELD™ methodology is one of the most recent tools developed (stakeholder analysis through the

assessment of relationships, incentives and information flow)
