Fighting climate change is one of the top priorities of EUROCITIES in the coming years. As the network of major European cities it has teamed up with other city networks in the ‘Local Government Climate Roadmap’ which lines out how these networks jointly push for an ambitious post 2012 global climate agreement and for recognition of cities’ efforts in climate change mitigation.

EUROCITIES also plays an active role in several European initiatives like the Sustainable Energy Europe Campaign, Covenant of Mayors, COMMERCE, the European Mobility Week EPOMM-PLUS, CIVITAS Catalist and CIVITAS Guard.

Moreover, driven by members’ ambition EUROCITIES set up a Declaration on Climate Change and steers the Green Digital Charter.

To showcase real-life examples of what our members are doing to fight climate change, EUROCITIES has collected and bundled a divers set of policy practices at your disposal in the ‘Cities4Europe’ publication.
