Fostering political engagement and increasing citizens’ awareness of the benefits of the transition towards climate-neutrality are two key priorities of the European Committee of the Regions’ (CoR) Green Deal Going Local working group. The CoR calls on local and regional leaders to join the new network of Climate Pact Ambassadors and take part in a structured system to collect cities’ and regions’ climate commitments ahead of the UN’s COP26 climate talks in Glasgow and the UN’s COP15 biodiversity summit in Kunming, China. New actions complement ongoing efforts to accelerate the rollout of the European Green Deal in every territory as Member States are submitting their COVID-19 recovery plans.
