@DusikJan @loscafandro @AsaLindhagen @DPretzell @JulijeDomac 🗣️"That’s why the European Commission is developing a new integrated framework for climate resilience & risk management.”Commissioner @WBHoekstra Cities & regions call for this framework to empower local action through multilevel governance, local solutions & sustained funding.

But how, concretely? 🇪🇸 Getafe fights energy poverty with the EPIU project 🇮🇹 Reggio Emilia transforms urban spaces with Adaptive Parks & “Natural Urbanism” 🇸🇪 Stockholm scales nature-based solutions 🇩🇪 Mannheim empowers citizens & businesses through its Local Green Deal.

🌡️ Floods, heatwaves, wildfires… climate change is hitting Europe hard. The answer? Local action. Opening the #CoMCeremony2025 2nd panel, EU Commissioner for Climate Action @WBHoekstra stressed: "Cities like Getafe, Reggio Emilia, Stockholm & Mannheim are leading by example."

@StadMechelen @BartSomers @LappeenrantaFi @SannaKoskenrant The winners are joined by @HristovaT, Mayor of Gabrovo 🇧🇬 & Oleksandr Syenkevych, Mayor of Mykolaiv 🇺🇦 on a panel to discuss how local decarbonisation strategies are vital for the EU's climate neutrality and security. But for this, they need ongoing EU support & assistance.

@StadMechelen @BartSomers @LappeenrantaFi @SannaKoskenrant 🌟Last but not least: Domokos. By decarbonising schools with heat pumps & engaging the community, even a small rural town can lead the energy transition.💬 “This recognition strengthens our commitment to reducing emissions by 44% by 2030"- Liolios Charalampos, Mayor of Domokos

@StadMechelen @BartSomers 🔥 Second spotlight: @LappeenrantaFi By decarbonising its DH with low-emission electricity & AI-driven storage, the city cuts CO₂, keeping energy fair & affordable. 💬"Lappeenranta already has ambitious goals. And what guides acceptance is visible results." @SannaKoskenrant

➡️ First up: @StadMechelen The city combines heat networks, storage & a coalition to deliver renewable + residual heat to dense urban areas💬"We are the most efficient defenders of democracy. We are always open to cooperation, making coalitions, building the future" @BartSomers

"Today, we celebrate those who have gone above and beyond, who have turned ideas into action, and who have shown us what is possible when passion meets purpose." @JorgensenJuul @Energy4Europe 👏Let’s congratulate our 2025 Award winners: Mechelen 🇧🇪, Lappeenranta 🇫🇮 & Domokos 🇬🇷
