A look back at our session at European Week of Regions and Cities, where we zoomed in on two successful cases of multilevel governance and the Covenant of Mayors’ essential role.
In the frame of the LIFE BIO-BALANCE project, Habitat for Humanity supported selected low-income communities in Bulgaria, Hungary, and Romania to find ways to reduce firewood use. Based on local needs, different interventions were implemented as pilot projects in the three countries.
On 8 October 2024, the EU Mission Label was awarded to 20 cities that are part of the EU Mission for Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities, one of the EU Missions under Horizon Europe, the EU’s research and innovation programme.
This year’s Covenant Award rewards cities' excellence in projects decarbonising heating and cooling, promoting cleaner air, a stronger economy, and more resilient communities.
Taking carbon and gas out of our heating systems is a necessary step towards healthier and more resilient communities, stronger economies, and a climate-neutral future. Find out what cities are doing to detox their heat from our new map!
Discover SYNERGISE+, a new tool designed to help Covenant of Mayors Signatories prioritise actions from their Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan.
Forty regions and communities have been selected to take part in Pathways2Resilience, a flagship project funded by the European Union, to apply a new, transformative approach in their climate adaptation plans, with systemic innovation at its core.
Over the past two years, the EU Covenant of Mayors has been part of the European Commission’s convened dialogue on the topic of the climate protection gap - the gulf between economic losses and insured losses from the materialisation of climate-related risks.
How we heat our cities has a great impact on both community health and the stability of our economy and society, influencing long-term resilience. For a healthier and stronger future, let’s detoxify our cities together by revitalising heating and cooling!
The 'Nevermore' project, overseen by Murcia's Regional Ministry of Economy, Finance and Business, offers crucial support to local municipalities, helping them stay engaged with the Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy.
