Green cities

Years in the making, the R&I mission is finally spurring action on the ground to help 112 cities transition to net zero by 2030

The cities now have eight years to apply a planned programme of research and investment, with the aim of reaching climate neutrality by 2030

The Commission has fired the starting gun on the project to make 100 cities climate neutral by 2030. But the Global Knowledge Centre for Cities and Climate underpinning it won’t open until 2023 and meantime there is no independent source of science-based advice

Research, city governance and citizen engagement will play a crucial role in EU mission that aims to make 100 cities in Europe climate neutral by 2030
