The European Commission’s “Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities” Mission recently celebrated its fifth anniversary, marking an important milestone in the collective effort to decarbonize European cities. Since its inception, the mission has been driving the transformation of 100 European cities, encouraging innovative solutions to address climate change and build more sustainable and smart cities.

Throughout this journey, the work carried out has been crucial for the implementation of policies that accelerate the energy transition, sustainable mobility, and the development of green infrastructures. The progress achieved highlights the importance of continued investment in research, innovation, and collaboration between cities, government entities, industry, and citizens.

At Cities dor Climate, this mission serves as a source of inspiration and strengthens our commitment to decarbonization in Portugal. We are aligned with the goals of the European mission and work daily to foster solutions that contribute to a greener and more sustainable future for all cities.
