NetZeroCities launches its first online course for all Cities – ‘Design Your City’s Net Zero Strategy’

The Cities Mission Platform, coordinated by NetZeroCities and where ERRIN contributes to citizen and stakeholder engagement, has launched its first online course open to all Cities: ‘Design your City’s Net Zero Strategy: Online Planning Lab.’ The course will officially begin on 16 September 2025, and registrations are now open. 

This course is particularly relevant for cities who are ready to accelerate climate action, as it specifically targets city representatives, policy makers and urban change-makers who are committed towards climate action at the local level. 

What the course offers 

Participants will gain practical tools and expert knowledge to drive systemic transformation towards climate-neutrality, and will be granted certification upon completion of the programme.
