PED framework definition - core statements

Welcome to the survey on key messages and definition elements for the update of the PED framework definition (PED 3.0)! 


The objective of this survey is to assist in updating the PED framework definition of the PED Transition Pathway/DUT Driving Urban Transitions Partnership. We kindly request your evaluation of the statements based on the following criteria:

  1. Clarity and comprehensibility: Are the statements clear and easy to understand?
  2. Completeness and inclusiveness: Do the statements encompass all essential aspects and are they comprehensive in content?
  3. Suggestions for improvement: How can we enhance the statements further?
Your opinion and perspective is of great value and will help to develop a multi-perspectively founded and validated definition.

The survey is conducted by the team of  Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT) and new energy capital invest on behalf of Driving Urban Transition partnership (DUT)/PED Transition Pathway. In case of questions or need of technical support, please contact Cornelia Reiter (cornelia.reiter@ait.ac.at)

AgreeSomewhat agreeNeither agree or disagreeSomewhat disagreeDisagree
18. Energy consumption reduction is an essential pre-requisite for climate-neutrality in PEDs
AgreeSomewhat agreeNeither agree or disagreeSomewhat disagreeDisagree
