Abstract (english)
Focusing on cross-sectoral, systemic, and place-based solutions, the ‘Cities Mission’ represents a major effort to achieve climate neutrality in specific urban environments and identify the key levers in the governance and achievement of urban transitions towards climate neutrality. This intervention is significant and timely because many cities have already defined ambitious climate targets and long-term visions but are confronted with an ‘implementation gap’ and challenges that they will not be able to address on their own. In less than two years, the Cities Mission has been able to bring together 112 European cities from Member States and associated countries, with more cities soon to be added through a 'twinning' programme. In addition, several Member States have set up their own platforms and programmes in support of the mission to extend support to non-selected cities. In addition to a growing network, the Cities Mission has also delivered tangible results in the form of a transnational NetZeroCities platform and the publication of the first climate cities contracts, which outline city-level transformation pathways and investment plans to achieve climate neutrality by 2030.
