Conference for Mayors on Translating the EU Green Deal into Local Action
Time: 9:00 – 17:30
Local authorities are in the driver’s seat of Europe’s transition, as the ones implementing the Green Deal on the ground. Their mobilisation capacity should be embedded in the heart of the EU Green Deal initiatives to facilitate the best possible participation of citizens, enterprises, and local community organizations.
Holding the Presidency of the Council of the European Union in 2024, the government of the Flanders region of Belgium is inviting 550 mayors ‘Fit for 55’ to highlight the way forward for EU Green Deal’s supportive initiatives for local governments, based on practical experiences. As a concrete example, Flanders has launched a Local Energy and Climate Pact as a contractual basis for tangible targets and support, per number of inhabitants, between the regional and local governments.

More information on the program and registration process will be available in autumn 2023.
