Energy transition at local level is a priority objective on the agenda of French and German local authorities, facing the same climate protection challenges.
The “Euromed Cities Network” and the mayors of the cities of Nice, Christian ESTROSI, and Nuremberg, Ulrich MALY, have signed a cooperation agreement and launched a joint school project.
Nice and Nuremberg, members of the Euromed Cities Network, have extended their partnership to the fields of energy transition and climate protection as part of the TANDEM programme offered by the Energy Cities Network.
This programme offers local authorities in both countries a unique opportunity to move forward together in the energy transition through exchanges and the implementation of cooperation projects.
