Goals / Remit
Climate Alliance is a non-profit association uniting local authorities and indigenous rainforest peoples in their efforts to mitigate climate change. Climate Alliance currently counts some 1700 member cities, municipalities and regions in 24 European countries. Its activities are coordinated by the European Secretariat based in Frankfurt (DE) and its Brussels Office (BE).
Climate Alliance supports its members in achieving their voluntary commitments of reducing CO₂ emissions by ten percent every five years and to halving per capita emissions by 2030 (base year 1990). Since 2007 the Brussels Office has advocated for improved legal framework for local authorities and for recognising their role in the European climate and energy policy, as well as for funding opportunities for local authorities for implementing their climate actions. Climate Alliance also coordinates together with other European city networks the Covenant of Mayors and the Mayors Adapt initiativesMain EU files targeted
