This tool helps to identify and categorise stakeholders involved in development, renovation, or maintenance projects in public space, such as streets or squares. It supports small and medium-sized municipalities in mapping both internal and external partners and outlines how and when to involve them.

The tool consists of a Worksheet (Excel-file) and an accompanying document, which provides step-by-step guidance. You can download both files below via the buttons provided. While ideally used after completing the Green Team Funnel, the tool is also valuable as a stand-alone exercise.

Members of the core project team - or the Green Team (see preface) - fill in the Excel file during the early stages or in a restart or reflection phase of a project, before engaging with external parties like designers, contractors, or residents. At this point, a rough project outline, the relevant climate adaptation challenges, and politically approved objectives should already be available. These can be defined by using the Funnel Tool with accompanying workbook.
By answering the questions in this Excel file, you’ll create a clear overview of your external stakeholders, categorised by their influence and level of importance, and linked to an action plan. The framework supports you in thinking through the type of engagement each group might need.
