Report: ManagEnergy Sectoral Information Kit 10: Covenant of Mayors

View all the ManagEnergy Sectoral Information Kits | Further information on the Covenant of Mayors

Covenant of Mayors logo The sectoral information kit is a new service provided by ManagEnergy in 2007 and 2008. The information kits will gather together a wide range of different themes related to sustainable energy such as energy use in buildings, energy education, behavioural change, etc.

Cities are home to around two-thirds of the EU's population and responsible for half of its greenhouse gas emissions. Planning, social housing, mobility and transport policies in urban areas, therefore, have major implications for total energy use. City authorities are responsible for public procurement, public lighting, and urban transport, and are often owners of large public buildings. This means that they can contribute significantly to greater efficiency if they take concerted action.

This information kit provides you with information on:

A strong commitment endorsed and supported by the EU: cities signing the Covenant commit to go beyond the objectives of the EU and reduce their CO₂ emissions by more than 20% by 2020.
Good practice: sustainable transport plans for the smaller towns
What difference does the Covenant make? It is an open process based on stakeholders and citizen's participation
Good practice: Mobile information unit gets Polish energy training moving
ManagEnergy: the contribution of a benchmark of excellence to the Covenant of Mayors. ManagEnergy is a capacity building instrument which aims at strengthening the capacity of local and regional energy actors.
