The journey to climate neutrality begins here and now!

These cities are the frontrunners of the sustainable urban development that will shape our future.

We encourage all to congratulate and show support to the 100 cities from the EU member and associated countries, on making this historic commitment.

Now next on the agenda is the Climate City Contracts. The contracts are political commitments to achieve climate neutrality by 2030.

We are prepared to support them with the tools, needed to lead the race towards climate-neutrality. Paving the way for the world to follow!

We can change the world, and it’s in our hands to make the difference.
