Finance & Divest
In response to the challenge of tight budgets, Energy Cities provide new innovative financing methods. The network also helps local authorities align their spending and investments with the objectives of the Paris Agreement. This is reinforced by more and more cities unveiling their plans to move out of investments in oil and coal projects. Finally, Energy Cities is pressuring EU institutions for city-targeted and climate-proof EU funding.
