Cities play a pivotal role in achieving climate neutrality by 2050, the goal of the European Green Deal. They take up only 4% of the EU’s land area, but they are home to 75% of EU citizens. Since climate mitigation is heavily dependent on urban action, we need to support cities in accelerating their green and digital transformation. In particular, European cities can substantially contribute to the Green Deal target of reducing emissions by 55% by 2030 and, in more practical terms, to offer cleaner air, safer transport and less congestion and noise to their citizens.
Meet the 100 EU cities that will participate in EU Mission for Climate Neutral & smart cities with the goal of becoming climate neutral by 2030. These cities will be an inspiration for all European cities to follow by 2050. Find out more: https://ec.europa.eu/info/research-an...
