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.

City Advisors: Connecting the Dots for the Climate Transition

Together the City Advisors represent a wealth of experience in working directly with cities, which will come in handy as they work to connect cities and advise them as they commit to, implement, and invest [...]
