The role of regions in the Cities Mission
As part of its work within the NetZeroCities project, ERRIN has developed three case studies showcasing the critical role that regions can play in the EU Mission on 100 Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities by 2030, using examples from ERRIN member regions. With their climate-related competencies and responsibilities within national governance structures, and role in implementing national policies and facilitating financing, regions are uniquely positioned to support cities in achieving their climate neutrality goals. The case studies highlight best practice examples from Blekinge Region, Region of Valencia and Poland (Lower Silesia, Małopolska, Mazovia, Łódzkie and Podkarpackie).
