Looking at the Covenant in figures becomes more and more impressive: this unique European initiative that more than 50% of the Energy Cities members have joined, now represents over 126 million citizens across 41 countries.

Since its launch in 2008, the initiative has grown to include more than 1,800 towns and cities. Together these signatories are working towards a cleaner and greener future for their citizens.
Now, what will be important is that they need to cooperate more efficiently and learn from each other.
Energy Cities is convinced that the networking and exchange of experiences among local authorities can significantly boost the Covenant implementation. Therefore we
- will make sure that there will be a continuous capacity-building of the European and national/regional networks over the coming years.
- have recently requested an extension of the Covenant to the Western Balkans in a Joint Declaration
