The CLIMATE ALLIANCE...  is a European city network of 1.400 member cities and municipalities,  with its members committing voluntarily to ambitious targets:- minus 10% CO2 emissions every 5 years, - halving at the latest until 2030  organises exchange of experience, promotes achievements, develops supporting tools (methodology, concrete measures, campaigns to involve citizens,...), represents towards national and EU level

3. CLIMATE COMPASS...  is a method to support the development of local climate action plans  builds on local experience and framework conditions  proposes a structured process  offers support by trained Climate Compass promoters
