On 28th March, coordinator of Green Municipalities Romualdas Petraitis participated in an event organized by the Research Council of Lithuania and the Association of Lithuanian Municipalities for the climate change solutions of the European Union Mission and Horizon Europe – Lithuanian municipalities. The event was attended by representatives of the Network of Green Municipalities and scientific institutions.
The EU’s Urban Mission aims to make at least 100 European cities climate-neutral and smart cities by 2030 and to ensure that these cities act as reference hubs for innovation for other European cities. The mission aims to increase the innovation capacity of cities and regions and to accelerate the deployment of smart and sustainable solutions in the areas of urban mobility, landscaping, infrastructure, energy and the involvement of townspeople. Two Lithuanian cities – Vilnius and Tauragė – participate in this EU urban transformation agenda among the 112 EU cities, which have become a role model for other Lithuanian cities.
