Session summary
The Institute for European Environmental Policy (IEEP) event highlighted the importance of evidence-informed policy designed by local authorities to deliver on urban climate objectives.
Green transition is necessary to mitigate climate and environmental change and the twin-transition is key in decarbonising economy, minimising waste, and pollution. Twin-transition is a also way to enable a carbon-neutral European Union by 2050, and for the EU to achieve its ambition of being sustainable, fait and competitive.
Digital and environmental transitions can reinforce each other and help achieve the targets for 2050.
Local and regional governments are key to achieve the transition – 65% of the SDGs’ targets need engagement and coordination with LRGs. It is an important challenge for LRGs to achieve this twin transition, as it will require a lot of investment (human, financial, political), but they can also count on citizens engagement.
Quotes
-
It is essential for cities now more than ever to manage the dual transition. Technology combining data sets from various sources can support to gain a comprehensive understanding of environmental challenges.
Local means different things in every EU Member states. Local politicians are accountable to citizens, and they need to think about clean energy, mobility, and biodiversity when planning.
We need to look a bit critically at the transition, engage with different parties and communities and look at solutions that can be replicated in different realities.
