This chapter examines the inclinations of European local councillors in shaping policy priorities related to the ecological transition. It highlights how environmental concerns intersect with other policy areas and with democratic values. The analysis reveals a significant shift in priorities, moving away from the previously dominant focus on economic development—well documented not long ago—towards new priorities such as mobility, reducing social inequality, and promoting environmental sustainability. Using principal component analysis, it identifies furthermore distinct types of policy agendas: an ‘eco-socialist’ agenda combining ecological and social justice concerns; an ‘urban marketing’ agenda focused on economic attractiveness and the preservation of local traditions; a ‘services improvement’ agenda centred on enhancing local service provision; and a ‘housing supply’ agenda, prioritising residential construction. The findings show that councillors’ preferences are shaped by personal and political factors but also, and significantly, by the territorial context, revealing a fragmented cultural and geopolitical landscape in local agendas. Moreover, greater ecological sensitivity is often associated with a stronger support for participatory democratic processes. Overall, the study underscores the complexity of reconciling global pressures with local specificities in building a just ecological transition.
