RePowerEU: Climate Pact Ambassador and Ambassadors of the Covenant of Mayors to discuss the new plan to eliminate the EU's dependency on Russian gas  

​​​On 2 May 2022, as part of the Green Deal Going Local campaign, the CoR Climate Pact Ambassador and the National Covenant of Mayors Ambassadors will discuss RePowerEU, the new plan to make the European Union independent of Russian gas.

CoR members will be joined by representatives of the European Commission, the Covenant of Mayors Political Board, local and regional authorities, financial experts and climate organisations.

Background:

The new reality of the energy market requires a major effort from local and regional authorities (LRAs), which have to deal with the consequences of increased energy prices, now being exacerbated by the uncertainty around energy supply. In this context, the Covenant of Mayors and the Climate Pact are emerging as key facilitators in boosting the transition needed to RePower the EU.

Kata Tüttő, Deputy Mayor of Budapest and Chair of the ENVE Commission and of the Green Deal Going Local working group, will present the Green Deal 10 Call for Action; and Bart Somers, Vice-Minister-President of the Government of Flanders, will present the Local Energy and Climate Pact (LEKP). Rafał Trzaskowski (tbc), Mayor of Warsaw, is also expected to join the session in his capacity as member of the Political Board of the Covenant of Mayors. Andris Piebalgs, former European Commissioner for Energy, will also attend the event.
