Covenant of Mayors – Europe

As part of the European Covenant of Mayors movement, over 9,000 cities and towns take climate and energy action to secure a better future for their citizens.

Signatories pledge to contribute to achieving the EU 40% greenhouse gas-reduction target by 2030. They develop strategies to coordinate mitigation and adaptation to climate change and alleviate energy poverty.
