On the first day, we will dive into transition toward climate neutrality initiatives. Expect in-depth discussions on real-world examples, best practices, and innovative strategies for addressing transition challenges.
> Breakout sessions
From the Mission’s first Climate City Contract and Investment Plans, the decarbonisation of heating and cooling is one of the main challenges faced by Mission’s cities.
- Objectives: This session will show how your city can learn from other cities that have been frontrunners in this initiative. You will also learn about the regulatory framework required for decarbonisation.
- Projects involved: REDI4HEAT project
This session has been crafted to showcase exemplary practices in waste management strategies, aimed at equipping your city with practical insights from pioneering urban centers.
- Objectives: The session will frame waste management through the concept of circularity, highlighting the interconnectedness of resources and emphasizing the importance of fostering a closed-loop system that reduces environmental impact and enhances resource efficiency.
- Project involved: ClimaBorough Project
In their efforts to contribute to a more sustainable future, cities often face the hurdle of having insufficient information to appropriately assess their respective pathways towards climate neutrality.
- Objectives: EUCityCalc partners will present project findings and recommendations to improve dialogue between government levels for climate policies. They’ll introduce a free training program to help cities optimize tool usage and facilitate stakeholder workshops.
- Project involved: EUCityCalc
- Objectives: More details will be shared soon.

Day two will shift gears towards a day of collaborative learning. Through interactive sessions and dialogues, attendees will have the opportunity to explore new ideas, exchange perspectives, and cultivate synergies between cities.
> Keynote Speech: “Caring for things as well as the livings: the tinkering trail”
To kick-off the day, Fanny Lederlin, the author of the book “l’Eloge du Bricolage” (In praise for tinkering) will share her experience of how to incorporate “things” (fabrics, waste…) into an ecological approach.
> Parallel Sessions
In this session, we will explore sufficiency and see how it can benefit cities and their citizens.
