Covenant of Mayors
The Covenant of Mayors is an ambitious initiative of the European Commission that will bring together the mayors of Europe's most pioneering cities in a permanent network to exchange and apply good practices across these cities and beyond to improve energy efficiency significantly in the urban environment. The Covenant of Mayors is the response of the most active cities to global warming: a formal commitment by the cities to reduce their CO2 emissions even beyond the EU 20% objectives, through enhanced energy efficiency and cleaner energy production and use.
The Covenant of Mayors was launched at the plenary event of the Seventh ManagEnergy Annual Conference which took place on 29 January 2008 as part of the 2008 EU Sustainable Energy Week.
Almost 100 cities throughout Europe have expressed their willingness to join. Cities wishing to join the Covenant should send an email to: TREN-COVENANT@ec.europa.eu. A Covenant of Mayors Forum enabling local and regional energy actors to comment or to ask question on the Covenant was added to the ManagEnergy website.
