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 [...]

Expanding Horizons: Pilot Cities Programme Involves Non-Mission Cities

Clea Prieto2023-06-28T11:41:01+02:00

The Pilot Cities Programme is expanding the reach of NetZeroCities by supporting four new non-Mission Cities as they test out new decarbonisation activities at the local scale. Focusing on data collection, governance, circular economy activities, energy efficiency, and more, these Pilot Cities are joining an ambitious group of urban changemakers testing out our next best moves towards climate neutrality. Rivne’s Plans for Better Data Rivne, Ukraine is focusing local Pilot City activities on data collection, building on its already significant emissions reductions and energy planning work to write a new Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan, or SECAP. A centralised online [...]

Stronger Together: Multi-City Pilot Cities Teaming Up

Ella Morgan2024-03-08T13:49:59+01:00

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.

Our Call for Twin Cities is now open! Appy by 30 June 2023 

Clea Prieto2024-03-08T13:55:31+01:00

On 3 May 2023, NetZeroCities launched its Call for Twin Cities. This Twinning programme is a tailored learning programme for knowledge sharing and transfer of good practices between European cities, between upcoming selected Twin Cities, and the cities that were selected to join the NetZeroCities’ Pilot Cities Programme in March 2023. The overarching objective of the Twinning programme is to foster lasting connections between cities facing similar challenges and sharing interests in different emissions domains on the road to climate neutrality. What will the learning programme be like? Selected cities will embark on a a 20-month programme that aims to exchange [...]

53 to Zero: How NetZeroCities Pilot Cities Are Scaling Up the Climate Transition

Clea Prieto2023-04-07T11:12:04+02:00

Fifty-three cities are taking aim at the systemic challenge of rapidly and drastically reducing their emissions, paving the way for a climate-proof future in European cities by joining the NetZeroCities Pilot Cities Programme. All of the selected cities have demonstrated their decarbonisation ambitions, as well as their plans to scale up their impact and create momentum locally and for other communities to reach climate neutrality. The Pilot Cities are located all across Europe. They represent twenty-one different European Union and Horizon 2020 Associated Countries and were chosen out of 103 applications involving 159 cities. What is most powerful about the planned [...]
