European Union aims to become the world’s first climate neutral territory. To achieve this goal, action is needed at all levels, including the local one. More than half of Europe’s urban population lives in small and medium-sized cities, which have a key role to play in reducing greenhouse gases emissions. Local governments become more and more committed to climate action, however often they have limited staff capacity, restricted financial resources and knowledge gaps that hamper ambitious, coordinated local efforts to become more climate friendly.
Poland, Croatia, Hungary, Romania and Germany have joined forces to support local authorities from central and south-eastern Europe in developing, monitoring and implementing climate neutrality strategies, thus contributing to the EU's 2050 targets.
