The European Commission launched the call for applications for the 2028 European Green Capital (EGC) and European Green Leaf (EGL) Awards. These prestigious titles recognise and reward European cities that demonstrate a strong commitment to sustainability, environmental innovation and improving the quality of life for their residents.
Digital tools are reshaping how cities plan and manage urban environments. The UrbanAIR project is developing advanced digital twin services to help local authorities simulate and assess climate risks such as extreme heat and air pollution. Integrated into the Destination Earth initiative, these tools will enable cities to test future scenarios and support more informed, climate-resilient urban planning.
The fourth Call for Proposals under the European Urban Initiative – Innovative Actions (EUI-IA) is out, with an indicative ERDF budget of EUR 60 million (subject to budget availability).
