The idea to create a Covenant of Mayors was set out by the Energy Efficiency Action Plan (2006) in order to reinforce and acknowledge actions taken by cities, as well as to leverage on a better dialogue between the local and European level.
Energy efficiency, being primarily a local issue, political commitments taken by leaders of cities and towns are essential to achieve the European Union’s energy and climate goals.
Members of Energie-Cités will also take part in this initiative.
