Another piece in the overall strategy to reduce tourist flows to the city
As the 28th UN Climate Change Conference (COP28) continues, the mayors of European cities have called on the EU to match their climate ambitions by committing to at least a 90% net reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2040.
Despite increasing resistance to climate action, it is crucial that Europe maintains its global leadership by adopting an ambitious new target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 90% by 2040," says André Sobczak, Secretary General of Eurocities. "This will ensure we can build a just, green and prosperous future for people in Europe and across the world."
To achieve this crucial and urgent task, a new position paper, released today by Eurocities, states that:
Cities have set more ambitious climate targets than EU member states and are already making good progress towards achieving them, says Sobczak. "However, we do not have all the solutions and we require increased support from the EU and national governments to help us achieve our climate neutral goals.
"We are convinced that this is the time to speed up our efforts and that ambitious EU climate targets will help support the growth of prosperous, liveable cities."
