The network will support partner cities to establish science based carbon reduction targets and zero carbon Sustainable Energy Action Plans (SEAPs), including governance and capacity building to enable them to contribute to the successful implementation of the Paris Agreement and the EU’s strategic vision for carbon neutrality by 2050. The project will establish a network of seven cities within the wider network of 8,800 EU members of the Covenant of Mayors (CoM), with a view to influencing CoM.
