The Seventh ManagEnergy Annual Conference on Local Energy Action took place in the Charlemagne Building, Brussels from 29 January to 31 January 2008 as part of EUSEW 2008: The Second EU Sustainable Energy Week, with more than 400 local and regional energy actors participating in the plenary event.
Andris Piebalgs, Energy Commissioner formally presented and endorse the launch of the Covenant of Mayors, together with elected representatives of key European cities including London, Milan, Helsinki, Riga and Berlin.
The Covenant of Mayors is a new, ambitious initiative of the European Commission that will bring together the mayors of Europe's most pioneering cities in a permanent network to exchange and apply good practices across these cities and beyond to improve energy efficiency significantly in the urban environment. The Covenant of Mayors is the response of the most active cities to global warming: a formal commitment by the cities to reduce their CO2 emissions even beyond the EU 20% objectives. Almost 100 cities throughout Europe, including 15 capitals, have expressed their willingness to join.
