Abstract

NetZeroCities programme supports 100 European cities on their path to climate neutrality by 2030, thus showing the way for the whole continent to become climate neutral by 2050. As of now, 92 cities have outlined actions and investments to achieve this goal but time is running out. The timely implementation of the required actions depends on further efforts related to funding, capability improvement, evaluation, stakeholder engagement and upscaling.
