City governments around the world have been increasingly taking action on energy and climate. Now, we need to do more to accelerate the urban energy transition and reach net-zero targets.

The brand-new European Youth Energy Network (EYEN)⚡, placing youth at the heart of the European energy transition, has partnered up with REN21, Young leaders in Energy and Sustainability Europe, Young Energy Specialists and Development Co-operation (YES-DC), BRICS Youth Energy Agency and Student Energy to launch the event "Reshaping the urban energy landscape - citizens' perspective on the urban energy transition"! The event is part of the All4Climate initiative organised in the context of Pre-COP26 and will bring high-level experts together with the audience to collect the perspective of citizens and youth on the energy transition of 6 cities on 3 continents (see details below). The ideas & visions collected throughout the event will be handed over to decision-makers. This will stimulate cities to boost their impact!

This awaits you on 25 September (agenda tbc, all times in CET):
