It’s one year before the COP21 Climate Summit in Paris. It’s high time to step up our efforts to reinvigorate our fight against climate change. As decided at the EGP Council in Istanbul, we’ll run a green climate campaign in 2015 together with our Member Parties and partners on the European and global level. This week – one year before Paris 2015 – we‘ll warm up with an online campaign on green cities. On our website andFacebook page we’ll feature ambitious local climate and energy initiatives implemented in municipalities with green leadership. Moreover, we’ll present impressions from the COP in Lima, where green MEP Bas Eickhout will be present for the European Greens.
Green Greetings,

Online Campaign on Green Cities
In cooperation with Greens/EFA, we’re presenting this week green-led cities from across Europe, which are local climate heroes because of their ambitious energy and environmental projects. Every day of this week, we present another green city on ourwebsite and on Facebook. We combine these success stories with a call to action and ask citizens to urge their city or region to become a climate action leader too. If you would like to share the stories and images in your language, please contactsandor.blasko@europeangreens.eu for translations of the material.
