If you are a regional or local government, a local energy agency, or a public or private stakeholder committed to the local energy transition get involved with Energy Cities campaign by signing our manifesto calling for more local staff for future proof cities.

Read the Manifesto and sign it here.

To achieve their climate neutrality goals, the EU and its Member States need strong local public services, especially in the energy field. To keep the planet “liveable”, the latest IPCC report states that the curve of greenhouse gas emissions must be reversed within 3 years. The conclusion is simple: we must act now and give regional and local governments the ability to think, learn, develop, and implement their energy transition plans. European and national governments operate through them when implementing climate transition plans. It is therefore urgent to give municipalities the means, especially human resources, to start the process of decarbonising their territories at the right scale.

Signatories of the manifesto propose measures to the EU Member States and The European Commission to give cities the staffing means of their climate ambitions.
