NetZeroCities has announced a significant expansion of its support to cities across Europe and Horizon-associated countries, offering new opportunities for cities aiming to reach climate neutrality. This initiative builds on the success of the EU Cities Mission, which has already been assisting 112 cities selected by the European Commission to achieve climate neutrality by 2030.
As part of this expansion, NetZeroCities is now extending a range of resources, tools, and support to all cities, regardless of their current climate progress. Cities can now access the NetZeroCities Portal, a comprehensive platform offering online tools, services, and opportunities designed to accelerate climate action. This expansion aims to help cities at all stages of their climate journey, providing guidance and solutions tailored to their unique needs.
In addition to the portal, cities will benefit from a blend of online and in-person activities. These include study visits, peer-to-peer learning through city twinning with Mission Cities, and engagement opportunities at national and regional levels. A dedicated Helpdesk can guide cities through the platform’s features, ensuring they can make the most of the available resources.
This initiative supports the broader EU Green Deal goal of achieving a climate-neutral Europe by 2050, offering cities a unique opportunity to learn from the experiences of Mission Cities and apply best practices to their local climate strategies.
Cities are encouraged to refer to the step-by-step guide NetZeroCities provides to get started and explore the available support. By engaging with this platform, cities can accelerate their transition to a sustainable, net-zero future.
