Local and regional authorities want to ensure green recovery and stronger climate commitments
On Friday, 26 March 2021, the Commission for the Environment, Climate change and Energy (ENVE), part of the European Committee of the Regions (CoR), held an online meeting to discuss the recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic and to ensure that it is green and inclusive as well as that it brings along higher climate ambition ahead of the UN’s climate summit in Glasgow in November.
During the meeting four draft opinions were discussed:
Juan Espadas, Mayor of Seville and Chair of the CoR's ENVE Commission and Green Deal Going Local working party, opened the meeting by suggesting: "Ahead of COP26, the European Union must not only set a clear example in setting up climate targets to achieve climate neutrality by 2050, but also provide concrete solutions to properly involve local and regional authorities.
The Edinburgh Declaration on biodiversity shows that this path is possible and I hope we will achieve a similar involvement of cities and regions for Glasgow. Without local and regional authorities there is no climate transition and therefore their role must be fully taken into account."
Members approved the improved partnership arrangement between the CoR and DG ENER, which outlines collaborative efforts to ensure the Renovation Wave's successful implementation.
