The challenge of climate change can only be solved with cooperation

In her interview, Birgit Georgi from the European Environment Agency emphasized the role of cities in achieving the goals of the EU 2020 strategy. However, she also stated that climate change is a problem we cannot solve on one level of government. The local level neither the European level can not solve this challenge alone but all levels of government are needed.

The European Partnership aims to form a bridge between European policies and local authorities. It focuses in increasing the capacities of local authorities
