Evidence shows the EU\u2019s\u00a0 know-how to engage with cities and regions to support climate delivery, reflecting global CHAMP good practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The European Union (EU)\u2019s vast experience on multilevel governance and partnerships indicates how climate pledges can turn into real-world results through closer cooperation with cities and regions, according to a new report launched by the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy (GCoM) and C40 Cities. The report documents how European institutions, as well as national, regional and local governments across the EU are engaging to design, finance and deliver climate action on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report, \u201cThe European Multilevel Governance Story: Evidence on CHAMP-aligned Implementation in Practice<\/a>,\u201d identifies tangible examples from the EU and across European countries to show how empowering cities facilitates the implementation of climate and energy policies locally. It collects existing evidence on how the European model of multilevel governance is helping translate national and global climate targets into on-the-ground projects, investments and emission reductions, while offering an inspiration for other countries aligned with the Coalition for High Ambition Multilevel Partnerships (CHAMP)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The findings come as the European Union has joined the CHAMP Coalition as its 78th endorser, marking a significant step in strengthening global cooperation between national and subnational governments. Launched at COP28, the coalition aims to accelerate climate ambition by recognising the central role of cities and regions in delivering national climate goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laurence Graff, Adviser for Multi-level Climate Action, representing the European Commission, said:<\/strong> \u201cAcross the European Union, multilevel partnerships and active cooperation among various levels of government are essential to designing and delivering climate action on the ground. The EU works closely with Member States, cities and regions because effective climate action depends on all levels of government moving in the same direction, helping one another for a coherent and effective delivery. By strengthening cooperation, sharing expertise and supporting investment in local solutions, we are turning European climate ambition into real transformation for communities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report highlights a sample among successful multi-level partnership initiatives in the EU and the Member States. These examples illustrate how the EU\u2019s multilevel governance structures, partnerships, and initiatives are crucial to deliver its climate and energy goals in a just and inclusive way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
