日本語
本研究は、欧州の小規模自治体（人口1万人未満）における持続可能なエネルギー・気候行動計画（SECAP）の多面的な効果を評価した。社会的、環境的、都市・地域管理の3つの視点から、SECAP実施前後での効果を分析し、特に都市の制度的枠組みの革新に寄与する可能性が示された。エネルギー・気候以外の追加的便益を引き出す可能性を明らかにした。
English
This study evaluates the multi-dimensional benefits of Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plans (SECAPs) in small European municipalities (under 10,000 inhabitants). It analyzes pre- and post-SECAP effects from social, environmental, and urban management perspectives, finding that SECAPs can innovate municipal institutional frameworks. The paper highlights potential additional benefits beyond energy and climate outcomes.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本でも人口減少に直面する小規模自治体が多く、EUのSECAPの枠組みは日本の自治体の気候変動対策計画（例：ゼロカーボンシティ）の改善に示唆を与える可能性がある。特に、エネルギー・気候以外の社会的・管理的便益を定量化する手法は、日本の自治体計画の評価にも応用できる。
In the global GX context
This paper contributes to the global literature on local climate action by demonstrating how SECAPs can serve as multipurpose tools beyond emission reduction. It provides evidence from hundreds of small municipalities, offering insights for TCFD/ISSB-aligned reporting at the subnational level and for enhancing non-climate co-benefits in energy transition planning.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Provides empirical evidence on co-benefits of local climate plans, useful for comparative studies on SECAP effectiveness.
🏢実務担当者:Municipal officers can use the findings to justify SECAP adoption by highlighting broader urban management benefits.
🏛政策担当者:Suggests that supporting small municipalities with flexible frameworks like the Covenant of Mayors yields institutional innovation and multi-faceted returns.
📄 Abstract（原文）
The Covenant of Mayors (CoM) has been supporting over 10 000 signatories in their energy and climate transition by providing a flexible and adapted methodological framework. More than 60% of CoM signatories are small municipalities, with a population below 10 000 inhabitants. Despite specific barriers, small local authorities contribute to tackling climate change, even though their contribution might be often underestimated. This study assessed the potential of Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plans (SECAPs) to be used by small municipalities as a multipurpose central tool bringing additional benefits beyond the expected energy and climate outcomes against three distinct perspectives: Social, Environmental, and Urban and Territorial Management in two timeframes (pre and post SECAP implementation). Results show challenges in isolating the potential contribution of the SECAPs in the social and environmental perspectives, while the findings support the potential role of the SECAPs in innovating municipalities’ urban institutional frameworks.
