Forty cities from across Europe have been announced as NetZeroCities’ first cohort of Twin Cities, joining the growing network of cities engaging with the EU’s Cities Mission to make more than 100 cities climate neutral by 2030. The successful applicant cities, which include seven from Associated Countries of the Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, will now be matched with a Pilot City or cluster of cities already innovating and piloting decarbonisation activities as part of the Cities Mission. The NetZeroCities Twinning Programme ensures that progress on climate has a ripple effect, with success in one city paving the way for [...]

Spotlight Series: Climate Neutrality and the Future of Citizen and Stakeholder Engagement

Ella Morgan2023-08-31T14:05:32+02:00

Authors: Lilybell Evergreen, Katherine Peinhardt Cities are experimenting with ways to better connect with their residents – civic and stakeholder engagement are increasingly at the centre of how cities develop, govern, and grow. But as cities expand their commitments to climate neutrality, they must also examine the ways that their residents take part in this transformation. The scale of action and systemic change needed to reach climate neutrality is large and needs to be coherently connected and led. Because of the scale and complexity of addressing the problems they face, cities need knowledge and ideas from all corners of their [...]

NetZeroCities Summer Schools: helping cities accelerate their climate transition

Ella Morgan2023-08-01T16:17:51+02:00

“Inspiring and useful”, “the chance to tell your story”, “a pressure cooker experience on Climate City Contract relevant topics”, “good networking opportunities”, the kind of intensive training that really reduces the amount of extra work”…this is how Mission Cities refer to their experience participating in the first two NetZeroCities Summer Schools! In June and July, some 60 Mission Cities representatives embarked on an intensive learning track to accelerate their way to 2030 climate neutrality. With two NetZeroCities Summer School sessions organised in Milan and Como, Italy, early June, and in Santander, Spain, mid-July, cities had the opportunity to join an exciting [...]

Mission in Progress: Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities Conference 2023

Ella Morgan2023-07-17T14:11:56+02:00

One year has passed since the Let's Go! Climate Neutral and Smart Cities Mission Kick Off Event where pioneering cities started an unprecedented journey to become the first 112 climate-neutral cities by 2030. At the end of June, Mission Cities kept up the momentum as they convened for the second Cities Mission Conference. The Mission in Progress: Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities Conference 2023 was a chance to come together to exchange on their journeys to climate-neutrality. The conference was a poignant event for cities, with Dovydas Kaminskas, Mayor of Tauragė eloquently noting: “This is a problem-solving conference.” It was a space [...]

Stronger Together: Multi-City Pilot Cities Teaming Up

Ella Morgan2023-06-02T18:49:08+02:00

Author: Katherine Peinhardt Within the 53 NetZeroCities Pilot Cities, many are thinking big – going beyond local action as they scale impact to the national level. In Multi-City Pilot Cities in Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Poland, Slovenia, and Spain, groups of cities are working together to take on systemic and transformative activities and get to climate neutrality. By scaling up in this collaboration, these cities are taking targeted action on climate at the national scale, innovating on energy efficiency in buildings, crafting new governance models, and piloting ways to make finance work for a climate transition, among others.
