How to calculate the Transition Readiness of your region?
(approx. 7-10 mins)
In the following survey, you will find:
- Specific questions about different elements of the region's ecosystem and
- Description of the range of the expected answers.
You need to assign a score value (1-5) to each question considering the transition aspects the question tries to quantify.
