NetZeroCities will launch a Call for Pilot Cities
The NZC Pilot Cities Programme will identify and support European cities to test and implement innovative approaches to rapid decarbonisation over a two-year pilot programme, working across thematic areas and functional silos in support of systemic transformation. The selection of pilots will seek to address all urban systems contributing to climate-neutrality, including mobility, energy systems and the built environment, material and resource flows, natural areas, cultural/social/financial/institutional systems, and accessible public spaces. Any one pilot might target all, or a combination of, these urban systems, depending on their context and the scale of the proposed pilot.
Join the information sessions and stay tuned to learn more about the NZC Pilot Cities Programme. More information HERE!

Henry Patzig: "I am responsible for my planet!"
During the past 4 months I was participating in "Innovatsiooniprogramm" with a voluntary task group whose purpose was to develop solutions that would help Estonia’s local authorities navigate and adopt the complex changes that are brought on by the Green Transition. As the topic is very vague and loaded with many strong opinions from both sides, it was important for us to understand the base line of knowledge level and activities already under way in Estonia. For that reason, we did about 40 interviews with representatives from different stakeholder groups in Estonia. From the discussions wide range of problems emerged.
