Starting on December 7th, the European city network will publish one fortune message per day on its blog www.energie-cites.eu to demonstrate that climate change is already being tackled with creativity and success by local authorities in various policy fields (building, transport, stakeholder participation, financing etc.).
On the one side, Energie-Cités and its 1,000 member cities from 30 countries are aware that their fields of action would be limited without an efficient international agreement. On the other side, the transition towards “low energy cities with high quality of life” is largely dependent on the commitment from the local level.
The commitments under the Covenant of Mayors to exceed the EU objectives as well as the actions taken to translate said objectives into facts, are already spurring momentum and enthusiasm and accelerating change. Local and regional authorities, Member States and the European Union need each other – in Copenhagen and even more in the future–to face the upcoming challenges.
Energie-Cités will be represented in Copenhagen notably by Denis Baupin, Vice-mayor of Paris, Vice-president of Energie-Cités, as well as by its Executive Director Gérard Magnin.
The European network is also a partner of the Local Government Road Map for a
Comprehensive post 2012 Global Climate Agreement.
