|---|---|
|
On Thursday, 16 October, hundreds of mayors, local councillors and regional leaders from across Europe will gather in Brussels to attend the EU Covenant of Mayors Ceremony 2025. Opened by President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola, and President of the European Committee of the Regions, Kata Tüttő, the event will bring together European and local leaders to discuss the role of local governments in providing citizens with clean and affordable energy, while strengthening the capacity of towns and cities to adapt and prepare against climate-related events. Mayors, local communities and regional leaders are instrumental in implementing clean and just transition on the ground, all the while providing effective responses to challenges, such as the impacts of increased extreme weather events. Since its launch in 2008, the EU Covenant of Mayors has mobilised over 10 000 cities and towns of all sizes to commit to the EU’s goals for a resilient and climate-neutral future. The Ceremony will also host the bestowal of the 2025 Covenant of Mayors Awards, recognising 3 EU cities’ achievements in decarbonising heating and cooling: Domokos (Greece), Lappeenranta (Finland) and Mechelen (Belgium). Executive Vice-President for Cohesion and Reforms, Raffaele Fitto, will highlight the essential role of cities in addressing EU challenges, and European funding and support for cities’ actions to boost urban resilience. Commissioner for Energy and Housing, Dan Jørgensen, will underline the great impact local action can make to build a cleaner, stronger and more secure Europe and Commissioner for Climate, Net Zero and Clean Growth, Wopke Hoektra, will talk about climate resilience and risk management, the Climate Adaptation Mission, and the importance of involving all levels of governments to properly prepare for climate risks.
