Apply to the Call for Pilot Cities by NetZeroCities
On 5 September 2022, the Call for Pilot Cities for NetZeroCities will be issued.
Over a two-year period, the Pilot Cities programme will test and apply new techniques to foster rapid decarbonisation. To ensure systemic transformation, the pilots will include all thematic areas contributing to climate neutrality, such as mobility, energy systems and the built environment, material and resource flows, natural areas, cultural/social/financial/institutional systems, and accessible public spaces.
How to apply
The Draft Call Guidelines and a Pilot Communities Programme Guidebook are now available to assist cities in preparing their applications before the Call opens on 5 September; when the Call opens, the final Guidelines will be released. The documentation related to the Call will be nonetheless regularly updated to offer more support and guidance to cities intending to apply to the Pilot Cities Programme.
