Energy Cities is a network of cities; we are a community of several hundred local authority representatives from 30 countries. The network gathers front runners and energy transition beginners, city officials and technical experts.
We showcase concrete alternatives deployed by cities, we advocate to change politic and economic governance at all levels, and we foster a wide cultural change leading to a futureproofed society.

The city is already showing its commitment to the green transition, and it will showcase its initiatives and projects during the forum.
