“Empowering the Future: Study Reveals European Local and Regional Governments as Key Players in Climate Policy”
The Council of European Municipalities and Regions (CEMR) is proud to announce the publication of a comprehensive study titled “Powering the Future: Driving Europe’s Climate and Energy Policies through Regions and Municipalities.”
In the wake of ongoing revisions to national climate policies, this study aims to shed light on the critical role European Local and Regional Governments (LRGs) played in implementing sustainable energy and climate policies. The research period, spanning from June to October 2023, has resulted in a wealth of insights and recommendations for the enhanced integration of LRGs into future legislative frameworks.
Marlon Hilden, CEMR Energy, Climate, Sustainable Finance Officer, emphasised the study’s significance:
“The findings underscore the critical role of local and regional governments in energy and climate policy implementation. This highlights the imperative need for consulting regions and municipalities throughout the policymaking process.”
