The Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy is the world’s largest association of local governments voluntarily committed to implementing EU climate and energy objectives.
The signatories commit to reducing emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases by at least 40% by 2030 (by 30% for Belarus and other Eastern Partnership countries) by increasing energy efficiency and the use of renewable energies. They also aim to build their resilience to climate change.
As of April 2020, more than 55 cities and districts of Belarus were signatories of the Covenant of Mayors. Every third resident of the country lives in a CoM member city!
Every year, CoM signatories conduct Energy Days as part of the EU Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW).
Technical support from experts, networking and exchange of experience, access to new sources of funding and much more! Watch the video to learn more about the benefits enjoyed by the members of the Covenant of Mayors.
