NetZeroCities (NZC) is part of the Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme in support of  the European Union’s Green Deal and will support the EU’s Mission of “100 Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities by 2030”.

The Pilot Cities Programme will identify and support European cities to test and implement innovative approaches to rapid decarbonisation over a two-year pilot programme. The selection of pilots will seek to address all urban systems contributing to climate-neutrality, including mobility, energy systems and the built environment, material and resource flows, natural areas, cultural/social/financial/institutional systems, and accessible public spaces. The deadline is 30 September 2022.
