  • Financial Institutions Instruments
    FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS INSTRUMENTS Lessons learnt from the Covenant of Mayors Community Financial instruments are a type of financing often characterised by the combination of EU funds and public or private sector finance, above all banks, but also credit unions, savings, and loans associations or investment companies. Such a cooperation aims to trigger investments on the ground to deliver policy objectives, such as economic, social and territorial cohesion and support environmental policy, such as climate action. In Europe, the European Investment Bank is one of the main banks which supports cities’ climate ambition, how- ever national banks also have a strong role to play in sup- porting the financing of Covenant of Mayors signatories Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan (SECAP). The EIB already supports public authorities with a variety of instruments: Financial instruments, such as investment loans, framework loans, multisector urban and regional projects through EFSI (European funds for strategic investments), guarantees for local authorities and infrastructure investments or indirect financing through commercial and public sector banks at national level. Advisory services such as the European Investment Advisory Hub (EIAH or the Hub) which act as a single access point to various types of advisory and technical assistance services. Project development assistance, such as JASPERS and ELENA which provides grants for technical assistance focused on the implementation of energy efficiency, distributed renewable energy and urban transport programmes (see the dedicated Covenant booklet on project development assistance). © pixabay.com/@Micheile Henderson COLLABORATING WITH THE HOW DOES IT WORK? EUROPEAN INVESTMENT BANK (EIB) With its triple-A rating, the EIB raises funds on capital markets at favourable rates and, through its loans, passes on this financial advantage to its clients, such as local authorities.

  • Annual Report
    Annual report www.eumayors.eu p.1 Covenant of Mayors - Europe 2019 Annual Report FOREWORD “Making Europe the first climate neutral continent by 2050 is our main ambition as the new European Commission. This means not only addressing the climate crisis, but also ensuring social justice, economic development, and well-being for all European citizens. We no longer have the luxury of time. The Commission before us has done a tremendous work building the necessary legislative framework that will allow us to transition to a clean and fair energy system. Now, our mission is to make it happen. For that, we need to reach out to the European citizens and the governments and institutions that serve them. We need to work in an open, inclusive and cooperative way. The European Covenant of Mayors movement is an excellent example of this inclusive and cooperative approach. For over ten years now, local governments from across Europe have voluntarily been taking bold commitments that they turn into local action. The movement now gathers over 9,200 signatory cities and towns, from all sizes and regions. Their average CO2 emission reduction goals for 2020 and 2030 are higher than the EU targets, and many of them have already developed strategies to achieve climate neutrality by 2050 - sometimes even earlier than that. The energy transition is about more than renewable energy or great technologies: it is about smart use of resources, while strengthening democracy and well-being in Europe. Cities and towns are where all these things come together. To become the first climate-neutral continent by 2050, we need pioneers who will lead the way.

  • The Directorate General for Energy of the European Commission (Hereinafter DG ENER), at Rue De Mot 24, BE-1040 Brussels, Belgium
    PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT BETWEEN DIRECTORATE GENERAL FOR ENERGY European •Coarrassior OF THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION {juggefe isadofobe"*- AND MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES PROTECTION OF GEORGIA Covenant of Mayors in Georgia THIS AGREEMENT IS MADE BETWEEN The Directorate General for Energy of the European Commission (hereinafter DG ENER), at Rue de Mot 24, BE-1040 Brussels, Belgium represented by Klaus-Dieter Borchardt, Director for Internal Energy Market, and Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources Protection of Georgia (hereinafter MENRP), at 6 Gulua street, Tbilisi 0114 Georgia represented by Mr.Shalva Amiredjibi, Deputy Minister. WHEREAS The European Commission launched in 2008 the Covenant of Mayors, open to cities and municipalities of all sizes in Europe, with the aim of involving local authorities and citizens in the development and implementation of the European Union energy policy. The Covenant consists of the commitment of the signatory cities to go beyond the EU objectives for reducing C02 emissions through energy efficiency measures, actions related to renewable energy sources and clean transport. The European Commission recognises the entities acting as Covenant National Coordinators as its main allies in conveying the message and increasing the impact of the Covenant. These National Coordinators are defined as those national authorities that are in a position to provide strategic guidance and technical support to municipalities with the political will to sign up to the Covenant of Mayors, but lacking the skills and/or resources to meet its requirements, namely the preparation, adoption and implementation of the Sustainable Energy Action Plans. The MENRP has among its main purposes the cooperation with municipalities in developing their policies and management programmes.

  • HOW the EU COVENANT of MAYORS and CLIMATE- ADAPT STRENGTHEN LOCAL CLIMATE POLICY-MAKING a Case Study of the City of Bruges
    HOW THE EU COVENANT OF MAYORS AND CLIMATE- ADAPT STRENGTHEN LOCAL CLIMATE POLICY-MAKING A Case Study of the City of Bruges Research Paper, October 2019 Bram De Botselier Disclaimer: This publication received financial support from the European Parliament. Sole liability rests with the author and the European Parliament is not responsible for any use that may be made of the information contained therein With the financial support of the European Parliament Abstract This paper identifies two problems in the field of climate policy. First, much of the research and politics related to climate policy focus on the national and international level, rather than on the local level, despite the fact that much of the climate policy should be implemented there, especially for adaptation. Second, when it comes to adaptation, this paper considers that there is currently a lack of attention for this issue in political science research as well as in the political debate. The EU has put into place measures to overcome these issues, namely the European Climate Adaptation Platform (Climate-ADAPT) and the EU Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy. This paper aims to study to what extent Climate-ADAPT and the Covenant of Mayors are effective in supporting cities in adopting and implementing climate plans. In order to answer the research question, the development of the local climate policy is studied, with Bruges as a case study as an example of a typical case, with attention for both the adaptation and mitigation parts of climate policy. The first chapter elaborates on the analytical framework and provides background information on the case study selection.

This bottom-up EU initiative, initially meant to cover “20 – 30 of European largest and most pioneering cities”, today counts more than 5500 signatory local authorities, which have committed to reduce the levels of CO2 emissions in their territories by at least 20% by 2020, through the implementation of a Sustainable Energy Action Plan (SEAP).
